A disk Volume itself is never pruned.  It is recycled. That is, the  
entire contents
is deleted and it starts again.  In your case, you have a retention  
period of three
months.  So, three months from the last job on this Volume, it can be  
recycled.

I think you want to enable auto-labeling.  There's a section on that  
in the
documentation.  In the short term, use the label command to create a new
volume.
