Hmm.. there's only one job per volume..

Pool {
  Name = Pool1
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
  Use Volume Once = yes
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 256M
  Volume Retention = 1 min
  Maximum Volumes = 8
  Label Format = "Pool1-Vol-"
  Storage = FileStorage1
}

My original idea was to put just a single job per volume and (later) change
the label format to be something like "server-level-date" to be able to
easily check what's happening and what's taking hdd space also from the
shell just by using normal filesystem utilities..  

Is there anything else that affects pruning than VolStatus and VolRetention
fields? 

What should happen if I run "prune" from bconsole?

*prune
...
Enter MediaId or Volume name: 1
The current Volume retention period is: 1 min
Continue? (yes/mod/no): yes
*

Nothing happened.. VolStatus is still "Full".
