Thanks! I changed the settings on my volumes and added
ActionOnPurge=Truncate and PurgeOldestVolume=yes as well, and if I set a
volume to Full and run a job it's clearing the volume automatically.

You might also want to look at recycle. Ensure yours pools are set to recycle,
then the volumes will get reused. There is an example in the manual to set up a
system on disks that create three pools, for incremental, diff and full and

Hi all,
I am having an issue setting up bacula with regards to volume
management. I set up bacula on a server with 2 partitions set up as
folders that I created as devices in a single pool. I have a single
volume labeled for each device, and set up a daily backup schedule that
alternates each

Hi everyone!
I was having to many problems working with one pool for each day of the
week. So, recently, I reconfigure all my bacula director to use ten
tapes with only one pool. It's working fine now. I don't have a tape
library, so manual changes are done every day (except weekends). From

Larry,
I have the same issue as you.
I use the:
Maximum Volumes = 30
in the pool to force it to start recycling volumes when it reaches
this limit, rather than let the space run out.
I'm not keen on the solution, as it's a fine balance between ensuring
that it has enough volumes to complete the

That is the way bacula works.

No.
So if I had a max volumes that would force Bacula to use those purged
volumes? What happens if you run out of purged volumes?

I have some purged volumes which are in "purged" status and are older than
6 days, yet new volumens are getting created.
