Hi,

Referring to the sample pool below, I assumed that after 1 hour from the last 
written backup, the volume status will change from 'Append' to 'Used'. This 
works fine.

Say if I were to make another backup after one hour (but less than 2 hours, not 
exceeding the retention time), I thought the volume should be pruned and 
recycled since I have set the 'Recycle Current Volume' to 'yes'. Unfortunately 
this is not happening. Bacula will wait for a new volume to be created since 
the volume is marked as 'Used'.

Quoting from Bacula documentation:
"..if you have set Recycle Current Volume = yes and the Volume is marked as 
Used or Full, Bacula will prune the volume and if all jobs were removed during 
the pruning (respecting the retention periods), the Volume will be recycled and 
used. "

Does that mean this parameter still respect the retention period before 
recycling the 'Used' volume?
 

Sample pool:

Pool {
  Name = Test
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 2 hours
  Volume Use Duration = 1 hour
  Recycle Current Volume = yes
}


Thanks.
