Hello Andrea,
You have 1 job per volume and automatic pruning and recycling enabled. If
the only job in the volume is deleted from the Catalog, the recycling
algorithm will detect it and the volume will be marked as Purged and
reused. Is it happening with all volumes or only a few cases? Are you
manually deleting jobs from the Catalog?
Best,
Ana
