You probably want delete volume
and after it cleans up delete the volume file from the disk.

Depends on how many TB you need to backup and how
If a file was not finished and the volume is full bacula will just
continue with the file on the next volume. So it will not waste space.

It'll spools out the last file to the same volume that caused that
volume to go over the limit. Then starts with the next volume for the
rest of the backup. It doesn't span parts of a file across multiple
volumes as far as I can tell.

Sorry,
One more question.
I just run the smallest job and it ran incremental because it knows
the full one was done yesterday.
How can I tell bacula to do a full backup today, so I can delete the
previous volume tomorrow?
Thanks,

Probably too long. Remember bacula will only recycle a volume when it
does not have any appendable ones available.

We learned the hard way how its the all-or-nothing. :-[ When that HD fills
up the first thing that'll happen is a volume purge, loosing
everything. Also we found breaking up the volumes helps with
restoration when a catalog isn't available (avoids rescanning a huge

Depends on if your backups can fit in the remaining space. And if you
need the previously backed up data.

Recycling is all or none. A volume can not be reduced in size only deleted.

Hello,
I've initially setup bacula(1.38 on Debian stable) to use one volume,
but now I'm reaching my capacity.

It obviously was already 3 months since we were doing backups, so to
lower the size of the backup file I would like to remove the 1st month
