thanks for Information John,
I am testing ... Let me see when it will recycle these volumes :-)
Here are few more things I am facing and want to discuss...
1) I have removed complete mysql database using drop_mysql_tables and
then created new tables using make_mysql_table command . Every thing
is clean now in database except one thing. When I am checking director
with status director command in bconsole. then stiil it is showing
lots of old jobs entries. Why it is happening?
below is output of status director command.

2) second issue I am facing with huge logs which lin_tape driver is
sending to /var/log/messages file while writing data on tapes, it is
also sending lots of logs while reading data too. these things are
making my messages file very huge to maintain. Please tell me some way
to handle this.
Thanks ...!!!
