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 week between the 2 devices. The volumes in the devices 
are set up to only retain jobs for 13 days, so by the time the backup 
script returns to the volume it has already started to remove the old 
backups.

My problem is that even though the jobs are being removed, the data from 
the jobs is not and the volumes fill up and once they are full, they are 
unusable until I go in and manually purge the volume. Is there a way to 
make what I am doing work, or should I be setting it up differently?

Thanks,
Dillon Andreas
