So I had a very careful look through the configuration files and the list of existing volumes and noticed that the media type of the prior volumes in the pool was 'File1', whereas the current re-constructed configuration files listed that pool as having volumes of type 'File'.

After changing the type of 'File' to 'File1' in the director configuration and storage configuration, it is correctly finding the existing purged volumes and recycling them.

So bacula requires the same Media Type to correctly recycle, which I guess makes sense.

cheers,
Peter

Are the oldest volumes *actually fully purged*?

Do you have Recycle Oldest Volume enabled?

(Actually, I don't recycle disk volumes.  I delete them on purge and create new ones as needed.  I find it simplifies volume tracking and makes better use of disk space.) <https://www.postbox-inc.com>
