They will grow until you run out of disk space on your storage if you
do not set one of the 4 pool options to limit the size or usage of the
volumes.

    * Use Volume Once = yes
    * Volume Use Duration = ttt
    * Maximum Volume Jobs = nnn
    * Maximum Volume Bytes = mmm

see http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Automatic_Volume_Recycling.html

Also remember that retention periods do not take effect until the
volume is marked Full or Used.
