Item 1. Delete volume on purge.
Origin: Alex F, alexxzell at yahoo dot com
Date: 16 February 2009

What: A feature that would permit Bacula to delete a volume from the hard disk 
after it has been purged.

Why: Useful for users backing up to hard disks. I for instance, am doing this, 
and have to manually list volumes, seek and delete them, and afterwards delete 
them from the mysql database. Woulld be acceptable if I had to do it for 1 
client...but I have many servers being backed up so this is time-consuming. 
Maybe a new status could be defined when listing jobs, something like "Deleted".
   I know Bacula treats backups like if it were tape jobs, but I believe that 
this approach is a little outdated, and some help should be pointed towards the 
users who use Servers for the purpose of backing up.

Thank you.
