Dermot, we'd be better placed to answer your question if you would post
your Pool definitions.
Did you include the "AutoPrune = yes" directive? If not, try adding it,
updating your Pool from the resource, then updating all your applicable
Volumes from the Pool.
Here's my Incremental disk pool for example:
Pool {
Name = Incr-Disk
Storage = babylon4-sd
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no
Recycle Oldest Volume = no
Recycle Current Volume = no
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 1 month
Maximum Volume Jobs = 0
Volume Use Duration = 23h
Label Format =
"INCR-$Year${Month:p/2/0/r}${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Hour:p/2/0/r}:${Minute:p/2/0/r}"
RecyclePool = Scratch
}
