To add to this, Bacula considers disk volumes the same way it
considers tape volumes -- they're appended to only, until the limit.
For tapes, the limit is the limit of the size of the tape. With disk
volumes, it is your choice, but you can only expire entire volumes. I
recommend a minimum of 3 in most cases.
