Hi Arno

thx for yr information. that means bacula starts reusing only if it reachs some of those limits (time, count oder jobcount) ?
If I dont set those limits, it will take all space available ??


thx

   Hi,

I've running a bacula setup that stores its backups to disk. basicly i'm very satisfied with the system, but something looks a bit strange for me.
I get the impresssion, that bacula uses as much diskspace as it can get and is not reusing pruned diskspace.

sample:
...
Pool {
  Name = Database
  Pool Type = Backup
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 14 days   Maximum Volumes = 4
  Recycle = yes
  Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
  Label Format = "Database-"
}

You need to limit either the time a volume can be used, the size it can have, or the number of jobs to store in it.

After applying the necessary changes in the configuration and reloading or restarting the DIR, use the update command to modify the existing volumes accordingly.
