Hello All,

I'm a new user of Bareos in France and i'm lost with the "Automatic Volume 
Recycling".
After reading the documentation, i get stuck on this problem.
Currently I use Netvault Backup and it works like this :

- I do a full backup once a month
- I do a incremental backup every day
- The volume (tape in Netvault) is automatically reused if there is two full 
backup on tapes.
- If a laptop is absent for many weeks or month, the tapes will be blocked (its 
normal because there is just one full backup).

In Bareos, this parameter does not exists.
For example : 

If i have a one full backup in volumes and few incrementals :
My job retention for my client is : 1 month
My file retention for my client is : 1 month
My volume retention for my pool is : 1 week

If all volumes are "full" and a new backup start ,all data in my volumes will 
be deleted after 1 week or after 1 month ?

Because if i only one full backup in my laptop and i'm going on vacations for 
two weeks, my backup is automatically deleted ? If that's the case, i lose all 
data if my laptop crashed and i need to restore data.

Thanks in advance,

Mickaël
