Since I use a new volume for every backup and only need the backups for
the last 14 days, isn't it possible to delete the volumes older than 14
days from the database (with delete volume) and then delete these
volumes from the NFS?
I could do this easily with a batch-script.
I see no downsides with this, except that I don't have backups that are
older than 14 days, but that's not needed.

The problem with recycling oldest volumes is, when Bacula uses the
oldest volumes, it would use 5 incremental, small volumes, when the
large full-backup-volumes are still there, taking up disk space.
Any workaround to this, except for manually searching for old volumes
and deleting them?

Thanks!
Sebastian
