Hello,

Well, this was just for testing to see what happens if i run out of Volumes.

I think thats what i dont quite understand yet. I will get X-Volumes
here with the Storage Paths:

/mnt/backup/bacula/hostA/Volume-0001
/mnt/backup/bacula/hostA/Volume-0003
/mnt/backup/bacula/hostA/Volume-0006

/mnt/backup/bacula/hostB/Volume-0004
/mnt/backup/bacula/hostB/Volume-0005


Now how can i automatically "resuse" or "recycle" the Volumes
Volume-0001, Volume-0003 and Volume-0006. They can be overwritten if
they are older than 14 Days.

Its tricky since in the Pool i have Volume-0001 until Volume-9999. But
due to the "Archive Device" Path for each Client, the Volume-0001 in
my example here can not be used by Client "hostB".

Maybe i am thinking too complex here?

Cheers,
Mario
