Do you have previous logs still? If so, check for other messages about
1_Monday_Week_2, because it looks like all the jobs had been removed before it
ran the above. Also, maybe they were removed with the delete command?

I don't - but I think I figured out why this happened. Two weeks ago, I
ended up running a 'Full' backup on Monday instead of the Differential
because I changed the FileSet selectors (actually the 'Exclude' portion)
and that made it run onto a second tape. After I had another 'Full'
backup on Friday, I deleted 2_Monday_Week_2 and internally, Bacula must
have figured that since the continuation tape for that particular 'Full'
set was deleted, then the first tape of that set was worthless too so it
just purged it.
I guess I don't mind, but it was clearly unexpected. I did notice that
the same thing didn't happen last night on the TuesdayPool nor did it
happen at any other time so it definitely caught me by surprise. That
Bacula had reached ahead a week in time and 'purged' a backup without
cause didn't make sense given the objective of Bacula to hold on to all
possible backups as long as needed which is also why I have set the
'retention period' to be 19 days on a 3 week rotation.
Thanks

Ah, yes, that explains it. Deleting 2_Monday_Week_2 would have removed all
the job ids from 1_Monday_Week_2 that were also on 2_Monday_Week_2. If that
left nothing on 1_Monday_Week_2, then the next autopruning would mark is
purged.

Quick question. Have you changed this pool definition after labeling these
tapes? As each tape has an independent Volume Retention that is stored in
the database when the tape is labeled. This value is taken from the
loaded pool definition at that time.

Unfortunately, the 1,641,600 seconds reported by the list are exactly
19 days... unless my windows' calculator is broken (or I screwed the
divisions up).
I'd rather suspect that all jobs on that volume were beyond their
retention - the messages indicate that there are no more jobs stored
on the volume (compare with the other volume where it reports that
records were pruned).
