I did. I implemented the runscript mentioned there that runs daily.

Job {
Name = CatalogBackup ...
RunScript {
  RunsWhen=After
  RunsOnClient=No
  Console = "purge volume action=truncate allpools storage=File"
}
}

This doesn't seem to be having the desired effect. Volumes are not being
truncated though I can truncate them manually with bconsole truncate if
they are first purged.

The thing that puzzles me about this is the storage= statement since I have
multiple storages defined.

It seems that truncate will only work on purged volumes and volumes will
not be purged until their retention time is up.
