I think you might be confused about the meaning of the Volume Retention directive. It controls automatic pruning, but it doesn't prevent recycling if the volume has no jobs remaining in the catalog. The latter can happen if the Job Retention directive in the Client(s) caused pruning prior to this backup. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
