I think thats what i dont quite understand yet. I will get X-Volumes here with the Storage Paths: /mnt/backup/bacula/hostA/Volume-0001 /mnt/backup/bacula/hostA/Volume-0003 /mnt/backup/bacula/hostA/Volume-0006 /mnt/backup/bacula/hostB/Volume-0004 /mnt/backup/bacula/hostB/Volume-0005 Now how can i automatically "resuse" or "recycle" the Volumes Volume-0001, Volume-0003 and Volume-0006. They can be overwritten if they are older than 14 Days. Its tricky since in the Pool i have Volume-0001 until Volume-9999. But due to the "Archive Device" Path for each Client, the Volume-0001 in my example here can not be used by Client "hostB". Maybe i am thinking too complex here?
