A simple strategy: Max Num Volumes * Max Vol Space = amount of space you want to use.

The answer depends on your Pool configuration directives. It is important to read and understand the volume recycling algorithm, particularly the fact that Bacula will prefer to create a new volume instead of overwriting a volume: http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Automatic_Volume_Recycling.html Strictly speaking, you do not *have* to delete/relabel, manually or otherwise. -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources and provide services.
