Hello, I have a question... basically I've got a client with the following requirements:
daily backup with 2 weeks retention
monthly backup with 3 months retention
yearly backup with 5 years retention.
All of the same dataset.
How would one go about achieving this? What I currently have is 3 different jobs for the same client which backup to 3 different pools which have different volume retentions. But File- and Job-Retention is set in the client configuration, which I have set to 5 years. So if I understand correctly, even the daily backups would be kept for 5 years, because bareos wouldn't free there volumes because of file and job retention.
Should i configure 3 clients? Would they need different network ports? Or should I go on a different path?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Jacob
