I should have clarified in my first email that I am going to take off the
recycle option. Initially I wanted recycling so that the disk space being
used for the backups will stay fairly constant(besides incrementals) since
the volumes are recycling but this will cause my labeling format of the
dates to not match up correctly since some backups do not perform when
there are no changes to the files(incrementals) and dates get skipped.
Therefore instead of recycling I want to have bacula delete the old volumes
based on my retention(30 days).
