I understand the core philosophy of bareos and the fact that as it 
predecessor bacula are meant to backup tapes. My storage however is 
consisted of HDDs only and there is no need of changing tape drives. I am 
reading through the documentation and I thought I got it right, but 
apparently I didn't. My goal is the following: I want to have full 7 days 
of backups at any given time for each client that is backed up. A job is 
configured like so:

[root@directorbareos ~]# cat 
/etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/job/ufo1.delta.bg.conf 
Job {
  Name = example.com
  Type = Backup
  Level = Full
  Client = example.com
  FileSet= LinuxAll
  Messages = Standard
  Storage = examplestorage
  Pool = LinuxAll
  Schedule = Weekly_10pm
  Priority = 20
  Allow Mixed Priority = yes
  Reschedule On Error = yes
  Reschedule Interval = 180
  Reschedule Times = 2
  Run Script {
    Console = ".bvfs_update jobid=%i"
    RunsWhen = After
    RunsOnClient = No
  }
}


And my volume is configured like so:


Pool {
  Name = example.com
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes
  Auto Prune = yes
  Volume Retention = 7 days
  Label Format = "example.com-"
  Volume Use Duration = 14d
  Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
  Storage = examplestorage
}


So, how can I achieve having full 7 days of backup the most efficient way 
without wasting space and having the old files automatically deleted from 
the volume, not just the catalog?
