Hi, I'm confused in regards to job retention vs volume retention. From the little bit I understand, if the volume retention period is passed and bacula is unable to find any other appendable volumes in the client's stoarge pool, it will delete all file and job records and then re-use that volume. However, how about if all the jobs in that volume have been pruned but the volume retention period hasn't passed yet (and of course recycling is enabled) Will bacula still re-use the volume since no more jobs remained after they've all been pruned? If it does, what's the purpose of having a volume retention period which is usually without a doubt longer than the job retention period? If it doesn't, what's the point of keeping a volume which doesn't contain jobIDs which can't be restored anymore?
