Hi John,
Here is volume record from bconsole for bss.
Pool: name=bss PoolType=Backup
use_cat=1 use_once=0 cat_files=1
max_vols=26 auto_prune=1 VolRetention=6 months
VolUse=0 secs recycle=1 LabelFormat=bss-
CleaningPrefix=*None* LabelType=0
RecyleOldest=0 PurgeOldest=0 ActionOnPurge=0
MaxVolJobs=26 MaxVolFiles=0 MaxVolBytes=0
MigTime=0 secs MigHiBytes=0 MigLoBytes=0
JobRetention=0 secs FileRetention=0 secs
Looks like its missing the 7days thing.
I guess I have to do an update. And change the Volume Use Duration?
Is that right?
Regard,
Michael

Hi John,
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /backup
LabelMedia = yes
Random Access = yes
AutomaticMount = yes
RemovableMedia = no
AlwaysOpen = no
}
I want to keep the volumes for 6 months hence 180 days.
Anything else you need? Currently, it doesn't create a new volume, its
Gone two weeks and still adding to the same volume.
Any suggestions? The schedule is to do a Full backup every Tues 1am. So I'm
hoping to change config by Monday.
Regards,
Michael

Your config says that use a tape for up to 7 days and after seven days
hold it for 180 days after the last written time before recycling the
volume. Since you have not posted the bacula-sd file I assume you have
Label Media=yes in the storage configuration.
