Hello,

my backup is being saved on a USB hard drive. Can I somehow check on the hard drive whether the files are also deleted there if the retention time / expiry time, for example Incremental-0014, has been deleted?

Greetings from Stefan Harbich

Deleted, as such - no. You can user ActionOnPurge = Truncate to make bareos shrink the media files to 0 bytes on purge but the file will still be there.

You'd have to use some external script to delete media and delete related files from disk.
