I had a patch submitted a while back for there to be an option for this (you
cannot currently do it natively), but it has not been applied to the main code
last I looked.
Let me know off list if you feel like running unsupported patches and I'll send
you a copy, or you can alternately check the bacula-devel archives for it.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Volume retention with Migration
I've read through the docs and can't find a definitive answer to this. We
back-up to a Data Domain box, then migrate the jobs after some period of time
off to tape for archive. It seems that if all the jobs are migrated off a
volume, but the volume is not past it's retention period then the volume is not
recycled.
What I want to do is keep the backup on the Data Domain box for 30 days and
then migrate it off to tape. I've set the volume retention for 45 days as our
migration jobs have been taking a long time since it reads the whole volume for
even KB of data. I don't want the volume to be recycled before all the jobs are
migrated, but I want it recycled before the retention period if all the jobs
are migrated. Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks,
