Hello,
I've initially setup bacula(1.38 on Debian stable) to use one volume,
but now I'm reaching my capacity.

729G 2008-12-08 09:27 bacula20080801

It obviously was already 3 months since we were doing backups, so to
lower the size of the backup file I would like to remove the 1st month
backup aka 200808. How can that be done?
File retention is set to 30 days and job retention is set to 6 months,
but it doesn't look like the files older then 30 days get deleted.

Should my volume be split up into smaller size volumes?

      

Yes. Retention will not work if you do not have at least 2 volumes and
limit the volume size to a reasonable size.

    

ok.

What are my options then?
I have 100GB left.

I guess my option would be to:
1. Delete current volumes and start from scratch,
2, Migrate it somehow to a smaller volumeS?
3. ?

Thanks,
Lucas
