Yes, as long as Prune Volumes is set to no in the jobs (the default) and Bacula can find or create a volume when it needs one. If it can't find a volume and Recycle Oldest Volume is yes then it can still recycle a volume after two years. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
