Hi!

I am useing daily tape rotation. I change tape every day and useing Full 
backup Level on each tape. Each tape has it's own volume and vaolume 
retention time is 6 days and 12 days for friday tape (I have 2 of friday 
tapes). Point is that after retention time Bacula automatically purges 
volume and makes tape writable again, so after every 7 days bacula would 
write brand new data to tape. But it don't do this, it marks tape 
Append, don't purge it and don't write new data to it. What could be wrong.
For Bacula configuration I used description on 
http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Backup_Strategies.html#SECTION003030000000000000000
I attach example of my configuration too:

Job {
  Name = "ntserver"
  Type = Backup
  Level = Full
  Client = ntserver-fd
  FileSet = "Ntserver Set"
  Schedule = "TapeCycle"
  Storage = DAT72
  Messages = Standard
  Pool = Default
  RunAfterJob  = "/etc/bacula/scripts/end_of_backup.sh"
  Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/ntserver.bsr"
  Priority = 10
#  Max Start Delay = 22h
}

FileSet {
  Name = "Ntserver Set"
  Include {
    Options {
    compression=GZIP
    }
    File = "e:/ShareFiles"
    File = "e:/dok"
  }
}

Schedule {
  Name = "TapeCycle"
  Run = Level=Full Pool=MondayPool Tuesday at 0:00am
  Run = Level=Full Pool=TuesdayPool Wednesday at 0:00am
  Run = Level=Full Pool=WednesdayPool Thursday at 0:00am
  Run = Level=Full Pool=ThursdayPool Friday at 0:00am
  Run = Level=Full Pool=WeeklyPool Saturday at 0:00am
}

Client {
  Name = ntserver-fd
  Address = 192.168.1.100
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = MyCatalog
  Password = "testparool"          # password for FileDaemon
  File Retention = 12 days            # 12 days
  Job Retention = 6 days            # 6 days
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}

Storage {
  Name = DAT72   
#  Do not use "localhost" here
  Address = 192.168.1.42                # N.B. Use a fully qualified 
name here
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = "testparool"          # password for Storage daemon
  Device = DAT72                      # must be same as Device in 
Storage daemon
  Media Type = DAT                  # must be same as MediaType in 
Storage daemon
#  Autochanger = yes                   # enable for autochanger device
}

Pool {
  Name = MondayPool
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 6d
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 2
}
