I am sorry. I said "Maximum Volume Size" instead of "Maximum Volume Bytes".


http://bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION0018150000000000000000

It should be

Pool {
 Name = "Turnos"
 Pool Type = Backup
 Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatical006Cy
recycle Volumes
 AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
 Volume Retention = 365 days         # one year
 Maximum Volume Bytes = 4G          # Limit Volume size to something reasonable
 LabelFormat = "TurnosN"
 Maximum Volumes = 100               # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
}

However remember that the pool resource is only used when creating new
volumes. So if you already have volumes created they will not get the
new size limit when they recycle. To fix this open up bconsole and

update pool from resource

and then

update all volumes in pool.

An example of this is here:
