[Bacula-users] Manual pruning / purging and deleting volumes

[Achim S. <bac...@mi...>]

Hi all,

i use bacula to create backups on diskstorage. my question here is, will it
work, if I prune / purge a volume manual (by using bconsole) and deleting the
responding volume file afterwards insight the filesystem.

If I prune / purge a volume by bconsole using, will bacula also delete all
attached jobs and filerecords in its database ?

p.e.:

i purge the volume test-0001 (and let them test-0002, test-0003, and so on).
the I delete the file test-0001 in the filesystem.

1st question: will that work propperly and are all databases (jobs and files)
still valid
2nd question: in the next backup run, will bacula create a new volume test-0001
??

thx & rgds
