I probably should have said the File and Job retention periods control

Recycling does not work with a single volume in a pool because
recycling is an entire volume or none even on disk based storage.

I assume you have a barcode reader on your autochanger. The command to

Yes. I recommend that you tune your database (mysql and postgresql

There is authentication. The fd has a password in the conf file on the
client side. The director contacts the fd and tells it to initiate
communications with the sd with the ip address stored in
bacula-sd.conf. Remember this can not be localhost or 127.0.0.1 since
the fd would then try to connect t
