Hi there.
I use bacula with disk files as backup media.
All my Jobs have a common definition using:
JobDefs = "MY-Default"
--
JobDefs {
Name = "MY-Default"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = nas1-storage
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Full Backup Pool = Full-Pool
Incremental Backup Pool = Inc-Pool
Differential Backup Pool = Diff-Pool
Priority = 10
}
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 90 days
Accept Any Volume = yes # write on any volume in the pool
Maximum Volume Bytes = 53687091200 # 50Gb
Volume Use Duration = 23h
LabelFormat = "Vol"
Maximum Volumes = 90
}
# Pool definition
Pool {
Name = Full-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 6 months
Accept Any Volume = yes
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
LabelFormat = "Full-"
Maximum Volumes = 18
}
Pool {
Name = Diff-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 40 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
LabelFormat = "Diff-"
Maximum Volumes = 18
}
Pool {
Name = Inc-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 20 days
Accept Any Volume = yes
Maximum Volume Jobs = 6
LabelFormat = "Inc-"
Maximum Volumes = 15
}

Although this I see some oddities, I have files that have more than 90 days:
--
-rw-r----- 1 root wheel 530141945 Sep 7 01:11 /nas1/Vol0015
-rw-r----- 1 root wheel 428151308 Sep 8 01:11 /nas1/Vol0016

I have this disk 94% filled so I'm wondering why don't recycle this
volumes; on the console I see:
--
| 15 | Vol0015 | Used | 530141744 | 0 |
7776000 | 1 | 0 | 0 | File | 2005-09-07
01:11:56 |
| 16 | Vol0016 | Used | 428151107 | 0 |
7776000 | 1 | 0 | 0 | File | 2005-09-08

On the other hand, although all my Jobs using the default "MY-Default"
definition so it should uses only Full, Inc and Diff Pools to save the
data (except the catalog) I see files named "Vol"... with more than
100Mb. I'm not sure why bacula is creating it because as you can see it
should create only "Inc-" "Diff-" and "Full-".
