Hi,

i'm using always incremental with bareos 22
i've a 27 TB storage, which has to save a full backup of 10 TB, so my plan is/was to have at least one full for two weeks, then the second full is done and the "older full" should be purged or the files to be reused.
the first full runs into the AI-Incremental pool and after two weeks the second full runs into the AI-Consolidated pool
But my storage is running full and my consolidate job is always telling:"less than two jobs to consolidate found, doing nothing."

my job config:

Job {
  Name = "AIbackup-omvserver"
  Client = "omvserver"
  FileSet = omvserver
  Type = Backup
  Level = Incremental
  Schedule = "AISchedule"
  Storage = File
  Priority = 50
  Messages = Standard
  Pool = AI-Incremental
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
  Full Backup Pool = AI-Consolidated
  Incremental Backup Pool = AI-Incremental
  Accurate = yes
  Allow Mixed Priority = yes
  Always Incremental = yes
  Always Incremental Job Retention = 7 days
  Always Incremental Keep Number = 7
  Always Incremental Max Full Age = 11 days
  Run Script {
    Console = ".bvfs_update jobid=%i"
    RunsWhen = After
    RunsOnClient = No
  }
}

Job {
Name = Consolidate
Type = Consolidate
Priority = 52
Client = omvserver
FileSet = omvserver
Accurate = yes
Schedule = "AIConsolidateSchedule"
Storage = FileCons
Messages = Standard
Pool = AI-Consolidated
Full Backup Pool = AI-Consolidated
Incremental Backup Pool = AI-Incremental
Max Full Consolidations = 1
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
Prune Volumes = yes
Run Script {
  Console = ".bvfs_update jobid=%i"
  RunsWhen = After
  RunsOnClient = No
  }
}

How do i need to configure the jobs, so at least one full stays around for 10-14 days and the older storage files gets purged/reused?
