http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=200708111036.55201.kern%40sibbald.com&forum_name=bacula-announce I'm not sure which of the two points from the 2.2 annoncement is responsibel for the new behaviour. - Volumes are pruned only when absolutely necessary -- this may cause your database to grow compared to prior Bacula versions. [...] - Volumes are no longer pruned during 'status dir' The second point maybe explain why a Scratch pool volume was used. Because the 'state dir' command didn't prune the volume. But then it makes no sense to move a volume from th Scratch pool to the Differential pool _at that moment_. If bacula does not prune volumes during 'status dir' it should not assign volumes from the Scatch pool to a different pool when the next backup will start in 4 days. I my opinion pruning/recycling and the decision to use a volume of the scratch pool has to be done at the same time.
