Hi Giuseppe, Yes, this could happen if bacula couldn't find a reciclable volume and you have the "purge oldest volume = yes" directive configured and this is, for Bacula, the oldest volume. The purge oldest volume doesn't respect the volume retention period. Best regards, Ana On Fri, Oct 17, 201

Hi Giuseppe, I would like to append some comments here about your "volume use duration" configuration. As the directive name says, this is used to leave the volume available for Bacula "during" your backup jobs (at least the ones you want the data goes to that volume). Maybe you are having volume
