Hi Ana,
Thanks for the explanation. Is this something that can be configured?
Ideally I'd like Bacula to recycle/purge every volume that no longer has
any jobs related to it. I was under the impression that AutoPrune would
do this seeing as it does mark volumes are purged if run manually:

Hi Marc,
Yes. This is for preserving your data as long as possible. In your pool
definition, you have configured:
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G # Limit Volume size to something reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 100 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
This way, Bacula will only recycle a volume if the limi
Hi Ana,
Does this mean that Bacula prefers to create new volumes over recycling
old ones?
Here's the output, Vol-0001 for example isn't used by any backup jobs
looking at the bacula database, as are 15 others:
*list media
Pool: File
+-++---+-+---
Hello Marc,
Could you post a "list media" output? Bacula will just recycle a volume
when there is no one available for append and it is not possible to create
a new one (and you have automatic labeling configured).
Best regards,
Ana

I don't have any jobs with long retention times. Both file and job
retention are set at 14 days for every client, while the LastWritten
date on the oldest volume is May 10th. The catalog is showing the oldest
backup to be from May 19th and according to the JobMedia table in the
bacula database
Chances are that one or more jobs on those full volumes has a long
retention time, causing them to not be recycled. If only one job is
configured with the wrong retention time, then only the volumes that
job's data gets written to ceases to recycle, making it appear to be
random volumes.
