All tapes in my library are now filled and I expected bacula to grab a previous tape and overwrite it, but that didn't happen. Sometime last night the backups just stopped while bacula waited for me to label a tape. Here is my pool resource.

Pool {
Name = Full-Pool
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention 4 weeks
Accept Any Volume = yes
Volume Use Duration = 6 days
}

Over half of the tapes in the library were last written over four weeks ago, so the retention period shouldn't be the problem. In any event, I stopped bacula and added "Recycle Oldest Volume = yes", and bacula did try to prune a tape. Unfortunately the oldest volume (the one it pruned) is currently stored offsite, so thats not working for me either. When bacula fills all the tapes in the library I would like it to prune the oldest tape available, is this possible.

Thanks,
Thomas
