But how bacula decide if it's necessary to recycle volumes? From my 
point of view it's a little bit random, because
on one day bacula create another volume and on another day bacula 
recycle the volume.

>> 18-Jun 01:00 c06-dir JobId 99: Start Backup JobId 99, 
>> Job=Project_MUC.2008-06-18_01.00.47
>> 18-Jun 01:00 c06-dir JobId 99: Created new Volume "Vol_ink_MUC0084" in 
>> catalog.
>> 18-Jun 01:00 c06-dir JobId 99: Using Device "Project_MUC"
>> 18-Jun 01:00 munich-sd JobId 99: Labeled new Volume "Vol_ink_MUC0084" on 
>> device "Project_MUC" (/serverdisks/raid4p3/backup/prj).
>> 18-Jun 01:00 munich-sd JobId 99: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume 
>> "Vol_ink_MUC0084" on device "Project_MUC" (/serverdisks/raid4p3/backup/prj)
>> 18-Jun 01:00 c06-dir JobId 99: Max Volume jobs exceeded. Marking Volume

That's correct, but i thought that isn't important if the retention time 
expired. But that was a false conclusion ;)
So think the only chance is to limit the Maximum Volumes to the exact value?
