This is all disk storage. I’m trying to truncate all expired volumes
immediately after all backups have completed so as to have maximum space
available when the next backup cycle begins.
I can check disk space between backups and know there are no 5GB files that I
don’t need.
I do this instead of waiting for each backup to prune the volumes when it runs.
I can see that this is failing though because I have no volumes of zero size
and the line in the email that says “Storage resource "File": not found”

Isn’t that an incredibly dangerous command to run automatically? What are you
actually trying to achieve that bacaula’s internal volume management doesn’t do
for you?

Aha! Found the source, now how do I stop the message?
RunScript {
RunsWhen=After
RunsOnClient=No
Console = "purge volume action=all storage=File allpools"
}
I was trying to keep space usage to a minimum, I also have
Action On Purge = Truncate
in the default Pool definition.

I doubt that this is a databse issue.
Messages from console commands in Job RunScripts are logged against jobid 0.
In Bacula 7 there is bug though and the messages are only sent when the config
is reloaded or the director is restarted rather than being sent with the
messages for the job that called the run script. Might that account for the
"random" times the messages are received?

Is there something significant about "JobID 0"?

What about other users crontabs? The bacula user for instance.
Or perhaps a RunScript on one of your Bacula Jobs?
As Bryn said, this is not something that Bacula is doing on its own.

Are you SURE there isn't anything like a crontab somewhere that someone set up?
This very very very very much has to be something that is being either typed
in to bconsole or executed via a script somewhere. It isn't something Bacula
is doing on its own.

Do you have an admin job in your config that's running console commands? It
looks like something is executing purge commands automatically which sounds
really rather dangerous to the health of your backups. The good news is it
doesn't seem to be working because you no longer have a "File" storage any
more, but if you were ever to re-create it you might find backups being
randomly deleted.
