-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You are unfortunately leaving out perhaps the only thing that matters, which would be a view of 'list media'. I'd think that would be a necessity, and then we can work backwards from there. Be advised though that, to my knowledge, 'Prune Oldest Volume' means simply that -- to prune it. If that volume has data on it that is still protected by its retention time, you can prune it all you want -- it isn't going anywhere.
