Hello Don, sorry for my delay and thank you for the information you provided.

OK, going back a bit.

You Jobs are asking for a new volume:
----8<----
harorbu01-sd JobId 299: Job Spice01.2023-03-05_02.00.01_38 is waiting.  Cannot 
find any appendable volumes.
----8<----

This is because your `status slots` shows all of your volumes in the tape library are either marked 
"Full" or "Used."

Volumes in these two states are not eligible to be used in a backup job by 
Bacula.

Please show your media. In bconsole, please do:

* @tall /tmp/listmedia.txt      (opens a log file so this does not wrap in 
email)
* list media
* @tall                         (with no filename closes log file)

Then, please attach that `/tmp/listmedia.txt` file to your next reply.
You might as well show us your Pool configurations too


The last column 'expiresin' (written in seconds) will tell you when each of 
these volumes will become eligible to be pruned
,
recycled, purged, and re-used.

It is most likely that a combination of the `MaximumVolumeSize` (this has been 
deprecated in favor of `MaximumVolumeBytes,
btw) settings on your tape device(s), and your Pool `VolumeRetention` periods 
are not working together the way you
want/need/expect.


If the `VolumeRetention` settings in your Pools have been modified after these 
volumes were labeled, then you will need to
update the Volumes so that they inherit the new `VolumeRetention` settings in 
your pools. In bconsole, please do:

* reload                    (not necessary if you have recently 
reloaded/restarted the DIR)
* update pool=xxxx          (do this for each pool you have edited)
* update volume fromallpools

But, you can see the volumes' settings before running that `update volume` 
command and then again after running it to verify
the volumes have the correct retention time after the update by doing:

* ll volume=xxxx   (Run this against each volume before and
after. We don't need to see these before and after outputs)


Best regards,
Bill
