Hey Steve,
I had something similar happen to me here, bacula will respect your retention
policies, and your volume limit. So if you have 200 files and you have
configured a limit of 205, when the next job starts, it will recycle anything
it can, use any volume that is purged, then start creating new disk volumes if
the current number of volumes is below the maximum allowed. Once you reach
that maximum, Bacula will sit there waiting for a usable volume. It will send
out email messages to the configured address saying it needs you to create a
new volume or make a new volume available. Once you do this, it will continue
it's backup with the new volume.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Help with auto purging/pruning
I did the volume cleanup and had just around the number of volumes needed (or I
thought). Then it started to work the way I expected in that it recycled
volumes that jobs had expired (7 days). But then one day someone put a 32Gb of
data on so it couldn't recycle enough volumes so it auto created volumes. But
now it doesn't recycle volumes it just keeps creating volumes. Is this correct
behavior?
If I limit the number of volumes in a pool what will happen in my case above
when new volumes are needed?
Thanks again for the help.
Steve
