Have you considered setting the Volume Retention for the disk volumes to something like 60 days? That will override the longer Job Retention and allow the disk volumes to be recycled. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
