Hello Users...

Just to confirm one little thing...I've read that Bacula will try keep your data as maximum as possible before overwrite them. So, even when my Volume Retention Time is expired after the last job, the volume don't become Used or Purge, but it still Append. Thereby, for example, in a backup scheme where I use one Tape to do 4 differential backups Mon-Thu with a retention time of 7 days, I need to set the Maximum Volume Jobs to "4" and the Volume Retention to "7 days". So, after 4 Jobs, the volume status is changed to "Used" and after 7 days it can be Recycled.
There's some way to make this using just the Volume Retention or I'm forced to use "Maximun Volume Jobs" together?

Thanks

Rickifer Barros
