It is a common mistake to assume that the volume would be recycled immediately after all the savesets residing on it get past their retention periods. You should keep in mind that there might be savesets (that are not necessarily located on the volume in question) that may depend on this particular volume.
An example is incremental backups depending on the full backup savesets.
This is why normally the volume expires after the next full backup cycle (which 
is in most cases happens a week later).

Good day.
Our retention policy for client  is  expired, but volume retain old
expiration date (after 2 days later).

Volume not marked as "recycl" automaticaly.

Recycle policy for all volumes set as "automatic", "volume priority =
NearLine", we use one autoloader. Networker server version 6.1.4.

After manual change volume mode to "recycl" backup started and completed.

How to resolve this problem?
