Hello Josip,

thank you, so the only way is to configure the volume to be used in only 1 job, So if a job fail i can delete the entire volumen. I try this.

Best Regards.

Hi Jose,

Even when you use disks/files as your volumes, Bacula will still act
much like it operates with tapes.
Tape is a sequential access media and is not meant to remove files
stored in the middle of the tape.

AFAIK, Bacula is not able to reuse space you consider wasted, you can
only remove related entries from the database or recycle the complete
volume. Everything else is most probably not worth the effort.
