[Bacula-users] Best way to force a volume to recycle so it can be used immediately
All - I goofed on a config change and have multiple copies of 20gb data backups - I don't need all that so I'd like to recycle them immediately rather than waiting for auto recycling to happen (90 days). All backups are to disk volumes. What's the best way to do that? If I mark them 'used will that work? If not do I need to purge them?

Any drawback to a purge right now? None I can think of if you don't need the data. Marking them used will respect the retention policy which it sounds like you don't want.

I think you should use the purge command on each volume you want to empty.
