Hello,

You should set :
 - Maximum Volume Bytes
 - Maximum Volumes
 - Volume Retention
 - Job Retention
 - File Retention
according to the space you can use. Volumes should be recycled then and
will never fill up your filesystem.

If you still don't have enough space, that means:
 - you need to buy some hardware 

 - you need to change one (or more) of these parameters to fit your
filesystem.

If you only prune old jobs without modifying your backup strategy, you
will have the same problem in few weeks... or even few days...

HTH.
