Just a word of caution for disk volumes make sure you limit the volume
size or usage otherwise bacula will create 1 single volume per pool
that only fills when the filesystem containing the volume runs out of
space. Then after the filesystem is out of space it marks the volume
full then and only then the retention period begins. A lot of new
users get confused with this and ask months later why their volume
keeps growing and is never recycled..
