Item 1: enable bacula to report on purge/prune/recycle actions in the future
Origin: Mark Bergman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Status:
What: Enable bacula to produce a report on the purge/prune/recycle actions
that would take place at a specified date in the future.
Why: There are frequent questions about the purge/prune/recycle algorithms
and retention periods. It can be very difficult to predict the
interaction and resource needs of complex retention policies,
and very time-consuming to wait weeks or months to see the
policies in effect.
It would be very helpful to all users to specify a date in the future,
and receive a report of all the purge/prune/recycle actions
that would take place until that date. Of course, this would
not take into account any tapes that fill up over that period.
This would also be a tremendous aid in resource planning (ie., do we
need to order more blank tapes, or will a large number of tapes be
recycled soon? which tapes will be recycled soon, so that they can
be put into the autochanger in advance? if the retention period is
increased, will there be any tapes left in the scratch pool in 6
months?)
