It would seem as if you dropped/recreated the wrong database. For general/ongoing maintenance, Bacula will automagically clear out those terminated jobs when they reach their retention time, assuming autoprune is enabled. Occasionally, messing about with the configuration will cause Bacula to end up with jobs, files, etc that it can't prune because it no longer has configuration information on how to prune them. In that case, run Bacula's dbcheck program to clean those up. If you continue to have trouble, I recommend subscribing to the bacula-users mailing list and asking future questions there. They're a pretty helpful group. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
