OK here is how I've configured bacula (relevant parts)and my first full job
is running.
I am hoping that:
1) volumes will be automatically reused/recycled after 31 days
2) pruning will happen automatically
If anyone sees something wrong I would appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks

This sounds like you need to tune your retention setings and use
automatic pruning of volumes.

If I'm right, what you need to know can be found in the manual.
If you have trouble understanding how retention and pruning work
together you should post the relevant parts of your configuration.
