(In \texttt{JobStat} table) When this time +period expires, and if user runs \texttt{prune stats} command, Bacula will +prune (remove) Job records that are older than the specified period. + +Theses statistics records aren't use for restore purpose, but mainly for +capacity planning, billings, etc. + +\begin{verbatim} +Job { + Name = ImportantBackup + Client = rufus-fd + ... + Use Statistics = yes +} +\end{verbatim} + + \end{description} This was sent by the SourceForge.net collaborative development platform, the world's largest Open Source development site. |
