It looks here for an appendable volume. Although if all of your
volumes are use volume once /max jobs =1 it will only find empty ones.

You probably already want the volume in the correct pool. There is a
scratch pool that can pull new volumes out of into your pool but I am
not sure that will help or do what you want.

usually no problem if the last step succeed.

this is the default operation/

Bacula does not delete volumes when the retention period expires or it
runs out of space. It will purge volumes when there are no available
volumes in the pool and one is needed at the moment for a job. If you
want different functionality than the default you will have to script
this.
