Sorry, this message was to large to get to the list. Just a suggestion
to update documentation regarding purge/truncate commands...

Hello Heitor,
I have admin job (output bellow). I have followed instructions in
bacula 9.6.x manual (page 228 of
https://www.bacula.org/9.6.x-manuals/en/main/main.pdf).
After some testing I discovered that:
a)command "prune expired volume yes" changes the status of volume to
purged and allows volume to be used again (data on disk does not change)
b)command "purge volume action=all allpools
storage=FSOciCloudStandardChanger" does not do anything.
I have changed this command to "truncate AllPools
storage=FSOciCloudStandardChanger" as indicated on link you provided.
Now data on disk actually gets truncated.
Thank you for all your help.
Perhaps someone could update documentation. I think it is quite
misleading.

Ziga
PS: Because of my changes to SD conf, I got error on truncate command
(is a directory...). I have reinitialized catalog database to solve this.
Job {
Name = "BackupCatalog"
JobDefs = "CatalogJob"
Level = Full
FileSet="Catalog"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycleAfterBackup"
# This creates an ASCII copy of the catalog
# Arguments to make_catalog_backup.pl are:
# make_catalog_backup.pl <catalog-name>
RunBeforeJob = "/opt/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup.pl MyCatalog"
# This deletes the copy of the catalog
RunAfterJob = "/opt/bacula/scripts/delete_catalog_backup"
#Prune
RunScript {
Console = "prune expired volume yes"
RunsWhen = Before
RunsOnClient= No
}
#Purge
RunScript {
RunsWhen=After
RunsOnClient=No
Console = "purge volume action=all allpools
storage=FSOciCloudStandardChanger"
}

}

Hello Ziga,
If you are using AutoPrune=No, you must automate some sort of routine
to prune expired volumes, otherwise it will affect Bacula's
capability of recycling volumes.
You can achieve that (e.g.) using an Admin Job and the prune expired
command, such as in:
