Currently, not much data backed up at all.  Last night, 6 volumes/files were 
used:

file_0009 = 292B       Incremental of the bacula server itself
file_0010 = 284.34G    Full backup of a Linux Client
file_0011 = 5.47MB     Incremental of a Linux Client
file_0012 = 67.28MB    Incremental of a Linux Client
file_0013 = 169.85MB   Incremental of a Windows Client
file_0014 = 44.96MB    Catalog

I currently have 5 clients.

In my bacula-sd.conf, I have:
Storage {
  Name = bacula-va-sd
  SDPort = 9103
  WorkingDirectory = "/opt/bacula/bin/working"
  Pid Directory = "/opt/bacula/bin/working"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}

Device {
  Name = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /opt/bacula/volumes
  LabelMedia = yes;
  Random Access = Yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;
  RemovableMedia = no;
  AlwaysOpen = no;
}
