Re: [Bacula-users] Procedure to remove properly client

[John N. <hos...@gm...>]

Hi Rolf,

So if I understand correctly, there is no "standard" procedure or any
documentation how to properly remove a client once it is not needed
anymore (e.g. when decomissioning a server)?

If not I would be interested to see your SQL query which you use for
that purpose.

Indeed I use the "use volume once = true" parameter so that each
volume contains only one single backup from a client.

Best regards,
J.
