I think 100G will be fine. The size depends on your situation. You want to have more than a few volumes (for better recycling efficiency) but less than a few thousand volumes. > > i think you should use the parameter "Volume Use Duration" or "Use > Volume Once".

I use "Maximum Volume Bytes" for disk volumes at home and at work. For me I limit the size to 5GB and use the disk volumes with the bacula virtual changer but I do not have many disk volumes. At work I use disk volumes mainly for the catalogs and have the real 30+ TB backup to LTO tape.
