It's not the years
such that the first volume becomes available
again just after the last volume is used (for a ten-day rotation, nine
days should be right).
Make sure that after you update the Pool resource, you FIRST update the
Pool from the resource, THEN update ALL of the Volumes from the Pool.

recycle them itself, or you can
use the Update Volume command to manually change the volume status to
Recycle. This is a particularly straightforward operation if you are
using BAT, since you can do it on all the volumes at once.

nightly backup.
This is potentially dangerous. If you're having to resort to things
like this, you're doing your Bacula volume management wrong.

I hear you. Just be aware that it could result in purging a backup that
you really needed. (If, say, someone does a restore that requires a
tape from a full backup, and forgets to change the tape afterward.)

Unfortunately - silent installation fails here, because somebody needs

What could be done to prevent this?
Sounds like this check is not honoring the /S switch. This should be
filed on the bacula.org site as a bug. It should be a pretty simple fix.
