As I can't find anything about pruned/pured volumes in the log file, I'm now
looking for volumes that should have be purged already. But I can't find one.
(although the state of volume 06D124L3 was Recycle on 2007-04-01!)
Both clients that write to these volumes have these File/Job retention times.
File Retention = 30 days
Job Retention = 6 month
This is to keep the job information for the volume retention time of the
full pool.
Example 1: volume 06D125L3, differential pool, volretention 31 days
Shouldn't this volume have been purged already?
Pool: Differential (trimmed output)

comment:
Volume 06D121L3 was last used on 2007-02-25, shouldn't this volumes also have
been pured since a few weeks? I issue the 'status dir' command once a day
and serveral backups have been run since the retention time expired.
I thought that the scratch pool might be a problem, but if I read the manual, I
think my understanding is correct. So, after the volume retention period
expires, the volume is purged and will then be reused, even if a scratch pool
exists.
<http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Automatic_Volume_Recycling.html>
# If the request is for an Autochanger device, look only for Volumes in the
Autochanger (i.e. with InChanger set and that have the correct Storage device).
# Search the Pool for a Volume with VolStatus=Append (if there is more than
one, the Volume with the oldest date last written is chosen. If two have the
same date then the one with the lowest MediaId is chosen).
# Search the Pool for a Volume with VolStatus=Recycle and the InChanger flag
is set true (if there is more than one, the Volume with the oldest date last
written is chosen. If two have the same date then the one with the lowest
MediaId is chosen).
# Try recycling any purged Volumes.
# Prune volumes applying Volume retention period (Volumes with VolStatus Full,
Used, or Append are pruned). Note, even if all the File and Job records are
pruned from a Volume, the Volume will not be marked Purged until the Volume
retention period expires.
# Search the Pool for a Volume with VolStatus=Purged
# If a Pool named "Scratch" exists, search for a Volume and if found move it to
the current Pool for the Job and use it. Note, when the Scratch Volume is moved
into the current Pool, the basic Pool defaults are applied as if it is a newly
labeled Volume (equivalent to an update volume from pool command).
