Hello

I am using

  Volume Retention = 14 days
  Volume Use Duration = 7 days
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 100G

30 clients
total weekly full backup size about 500G
total daily  incr backup size about 30-50G

automatic recycling works perfect.


i want to say:

parameters heavily depend on:
  retention period needs
  expected full/diff/incr backup size
  available disk/tape storage size


i am unsure about the "Maximum Volumes" limitation
