Hi Phil,

Here is the pool definitions I'm using.

Is there some way I can get the entire "disk" pool volumes purged when
they expire, so they are all truncated and all that space is released.
 I don't need them once they are copied to tape.  Would a migrate job
instead of a copy job work better in this regard?

  Maximum Volumes = 350
  Action on Purge = Truncate

}

}
