Any drawback to a purge right now? None I can think of if you don't need the 
data. Marking them used will respect the retention policy which it sounds like 
you don't want.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Best way to force a volume to recycle so it can be used 
immediately

All -

I goofed on a config change and have multiple copies of 20gb data backups - I 
don't need all that so I'd like to recycle them immediately rather than waiting 
for auto recycling to happen (90 days).  All backups are to disk volumes.  
What's the best way to do that?  If I mark them 'used" will that work?  If not 
do I need to purge them?

Version: 5.0.0


Thanks in advance!
