Hello Marc,

Could you post a "list media" output? Bacula will just recycle a volume when there is no one available for append and it is not possible to create a new one (and you have automatic labeling configured).

Best regards,
Ana

I don't have any jobs with long retention times. Both file and job
retention are set at 14 days for every client, while the LastWritten
date on the oldest volume is May 10th. The catalog is showing the oldest
backup to be from May 19th and according to the JobMedia table in the
bacula database there aren't any jobs that use the unused volumes.

Would this mean that all the volumes with a LastWritten date older then
May 19th should've been recycled by Bacula? I'm really wondering why
this hasn't happend.
