No. First off, the volume name shown is only an estimate at best, because the user can change volumes in between, and Bacula will prefer volumes loaded in an autochanger. Also, the user or some other jobs might change the status of the available volumes. > Maybe it would be right to change the query in bconsole to choose the > oldest volume that can be recycled? That wouldn't help, because the oldest volume is not necessarily the one to be selected for pruning/recycling. If you really want to know which volume will be reused, I'd recommend to look for the oldest volume loaded in the autochanger that is, at the time the new jobs start, out of retention. Then purge and recycle that manually (or through a script). This can be scripted through bconsole, and that's also what I would suggest to do.
