You can use ... PurgeOldestVolume = yes
... in the Pool definition but take care; here's from the Bacula Main Reference: "However, if you use this directive and have only one Volume in the Pool, you will immediately recycle your Volume if you fill it and Bacula needs another one. Thus your backup will be totally invalid. Please use this directive with care". -----Original Message----- From: Sean Carolan [mailto:scaro...@gmail.com] Sent: 16 March 2010 01:01 To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] How to re-use existing volumes in pool?

Update - I was able to purge the old volumes manually, am just curious whether bacula can prune them automatically, and also load the labeled volumes (tapes) in the tape changer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
