Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

Pool {
  Name = Default
  Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 90 days
  Accept Any Volume = yes             # write on any volume in the pool
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 53687091200  # 50Gb
  Volume Use Duration = 23h
  LabelFormat = "Vol"
  Maximum Volumes = 90
}


Item one: Volumes with names Vol[0-9]{4} are created for this pool.


Although this I see some oddities, I have files that have more than 90 days:

I will put a small value for this pool


On the other hand, although all my Jobs using the default "MY-Default" definition so it should uses only Full, Inc and Diff Pools to save the data (except the catalog) I see files named "Vol"... with more than 100Mb. I'm not sure why bacula is creating it because as you can see it should create only "Inc-" "Diff-" and "Full-".


It might be that you started jobs manually,

may be one or two, but no 65:

----
 ls Vol* | wc -l
      65
---

or perhaps you have job overrides in the schedules,

I think it shouldn't:

--
Schedule {
  Name = "WeeklyCycle"
  Run = Full 1st sun at 1:05
  Run = Differential 2nd-5th sun at 1:05
  Run = Incremental mon-sat at 1:05
}

# This schedule does the catalog. It starts after the WeeklyCycle
Schedule {
  Name = "WeeklyCycleAfterBackup"
  Run = Full sun-sat at 1:10
---

or these jobs are remains of an older configuration.



If you go and look at which jobs, at which level, are stored in the volumes in question this might become clearer.

I'm don't know how to see this.

If I use "list jobs", I see:

(...)
| 424 | BackupCatalog | 2005-10-16 01:10:02 | B | F | 1 | 120448334 | T | | 428 | BackupCatalog | 2005-10-17 01:10:02 | B | F | 1 | 121003339 | T | | 432 | BackupCatalog | 2005-10-18 01:10:02 | B | F | 1 | 120875709 | T | | 436 | BackupCatalog | 2005-10-19 01:10:02 | B | F | 1 | 117692619 | T | | 440 | BackupCatalog | 2005-10-20 01:10:02 | B | F | 1 | 118220401 | T | | 444 | BackupCatalog | 2005-10-21 01:10:02 | B | F | 1 | 117876250 | T |


Is normal that the backupCatalog uses so space?

(seing this I understand the Volumes and disk space used is for backup catalog)

Thanks againd, and best regards!
