I am not sure what you are asking. However with the setup above you are telling bacula to fill a volume up to 25GB and after it fills to 25GB keep it for 31 days. John -- The Planet: dedicated and m

BTW I missed one point. After the 31 days expires it will be able to be recycled and thus bacula will use it again when it needs a new volume. By you labeling scheme this probably is not your wishes

Well, one way would be to have your script issue a list volumes command to the console, then parse the output to sort by last-written date. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.
