Hello

I don't know how big is your storage, but you have configured something
like 100 disks of 4TB (= 4000gb)

You define capacity of your pool configuring (Maximum Volume Bytes x Maximum
Volumes)

Is interesting to set smaller volumes because if you have some volume error
you will loose less data.

If you consider one hard disk of 1TB with a Full Backup daily of 100GB and
you want 30 days retention, you will not reach it, because 30 x 100GB =
3.000gb or 3TB, so you only will reach 10 days retention (10 * 100GB) = 1TB
