"Volume Retention" changes does not affect purged volumes

[Micha Ballmann]

Hello,

i have strange problem. I changed the days of "Volume Retention".

For example:

Pool {

  Name                  = DataIncremental

  Pool Type             = Backup

  Recycle               = yes

  AutoPrune             = yes

  Volume Retention      = 15 days

  Maximum Volume Bytes  = 50G

  Label Format          = "DataIncremental-"

 }

changed to:

Pool {

  Name                  = DataIncremental

  Pool Type             = Backup

  Recycle               = yes

  AutoPrune             = yes

  Volume Retention      = 30 days

  Maximum Volume Bytes  = 50G

  Label Format          = "DataIncremental-"

 }

My problem now, new volumes were created correctly, but purged volumes didnt. The purged volumes were created with the same old "Volume Retention" in the origin. In my case:

New Volumes = 30 days retention

Purged Volumes = 15 days retention

Why the purged volumes inherit the retention time from his old volumes and doesnt set new one?

Server: 

-Ubuntu 18.04
-Postgresql 12

-Bareos 18.2.5

If you change settings in the config file they will be applied to new volumes only as you already noticed. If old volumes are purged, only their status is changed they are not deleted and created anew. So you have to manually update volume using bconsole "update" command.
