Hi All,
I have noticed one thing. The Volumes which have been expired (retention
12days) when getting recycled gives below logs. but i am able to see that
volume intact on the server but the Catalog entry is missing. Kindly find the
attached file for details of Catalog screen shot.
19-Dec 05:29 bacula2-dir JobId 18095: There are no more Jobs associated with
Volume "Vol0170". Marking it purged.
19-Dec 05:29 bacula2-dir JobId 18095: New Pool is: Default
19-Dec 05:29 bacula2-dir JobId 18095: All records pruned from Volume
"Vol0170"; marking it "Purged"
19-Dec 05:29 bacula2-dir JobId 18095: There are no more Jobs associated with
Volume "Vol0502". Marking it purged.

Recycling does not remove physical volume, which in your case is a file on a
disk (volume could also be a tape, in that case the tape drive is analoguos to
disk drive holding now the volume files).
Purging means that all catalog entries related to the contents of the volume in
question are deleted. Also, information about the actual volume will stay in
the database after purge (roughly: this is how Bacula knows the volume exists
and that its status is now "purged"). Bacula will pysically touch this volume
(file) only when it will be written again next time, and at that time its size
will at first reduce to (almost) zero, and immediatedly thereafter Bacula
starts appending new data into it.
So, pruning/purging does not delete or otherwise modify physical volume files,
it just manipulates the catalog to make the volumes re-available for writing.
AFAIK, nor does so even the "delete" command that may be used to delete all
catalog information about the volume. This is analoguos to using tapes as
volumes: no backup software would physically delete physical tapes (put in a
shredded?) either.
