Hey all,

I've set up job/file pruning on all clients (i.e., AutoPrune = yes) that 
are backed up by my Bacula instance, but I'm wondering (the 
documentation isn't really clear on this) whether that's enough to cause 
volumes to be recycled when no more jobs are bound to a volume. I've 
disabled AutoPrune on by storage (file-based) pool due to the fact that 
the clients have very different retainer times (depending on the 
criticality of the system and the storage amount), and basically the 
only option to be able to recycle volumes based on AutoPruning of 
volumes would be to set the volume retention time to the maximum of all 
client retention times.

Will volumes become marked as Purged once all jobs are pruned for the 
clients that are bound on this volume, or will I have no volume 
recycling at all with the setup that I've done presently? I know that 
this means that some volumes won't become recycled, even though only 
very little "actual" catalog data is left on them, but that's something 
that I'm willing to have.

Thanks for any hint!
