I was having the same issue as well, where jobs are purged at the time the backup starts but the volumes not recycled. So instead of a retention of 6d, I specified 5d. Maybe some of us are mis-interpreting all these recycling and purging, and I keep on re-reading the manual ... but at least I am not the only who sorts of get confused and so end up setting a much lower volume retention period. Anyway, I'll also have a look at "Volume Poll Interval" as Kern said. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
