 I'd like to backup my web server to my local system. So far everything seems
 to work fine, i've setup encryption via TLS (certificates, etc) and the
 services running under Fedora 7.
 
 Unfortunately, there is one thing that i don't quite understand while
 reading the manual. I don't understand how to reserve 20 gigs of harddisk
 space for backups.
 
 In other words, i'd like to force bacula to use /var/spool/bacula to store
 my backups and to make sure it uses maximum 20 gigs. Once those are filled,
 it should reuse them over and over again.
 
 My pool looks like this, but i'm not sure if its doing what i described:
 
 Pool {
   Name = Default
   Pool Type = Backup
   Recycle = yes
   AutoPrune = yes
   Volume Retention = 365 days
   Maximum Volumes = 1
   Maximum Volume Bytes = 20g
 }
 
 Any help would be appreciated.

That is a bad configuration because bacula only recycles complete volumes, so
it will no recycle the 20g volume until all of it has reached its retention
period.

You probably want

Maximum Volumes = 20
Maximum Volume Bytes = 1g
