I did. I implemented the runscript mentioned there that runs daily.
Job {
Name = CatalogBackup ...
RunScript {
RunsWhen=After
RunsOnClient=No
Console = "purge volume action=truncate allpools storage=File"
}
}
This doesn't seem to be having the desired effect. Volumes are not
being truncated though I can truncate them manually with bconsole
truncate if they are first purged.
The thing that puzzles me about this is the storage= statement since I
have multiple storages defined.
It seems that truncate will only work on purged volumes and volumes
will not be purged until their retention time is up.

Hello,
Beware :
* File / Job retentions only have an impact on the catalog's size.
* Volume retention is the only one related to the space consumed by
tapes. A volume won't be reclaimed until Volume Retention expires.
Did you also implement these following rules in pools' definitions (with
different values of course):
Volume Retention = 42 days # 6 weeks
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G # Limit Volume size to something
reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 10 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
RecyclePool = Scratch
Action On Purge = Truncate
If you don't define these rules, volumes won't be recycled automatically.
HTH.
