another thought which could help: Please note that the |Volume Retention (Dir->Pool)| <https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Pool_VolumeRetention> should be set to a *very high* value. This means that the value needs to be higher than the maximum time that a job might be kept on a volume during the always incremental backup scheme. The value needs to be more than |Always Incremental Max Full Age (Dir->Job)| <https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Job_AlwaysIncrementalMaxFullAge>.
We suggest to set |Volume Retention (Dir->Pool)| <https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Pool_VolumeRetention> to one year or 2-3 times the |Always Incremental Max Full Age (Dir->Job)| <https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Job_AlwaysIncrementalMaxFullAge>. This makes sure that the jobs being stored on the volumes are not pruned prematurely. When performing the always incremental scheme, the jobs are *never* pruned by the volume pruning mechanism. The jobs are pruned from the volumes after they have been successfully consolidated, so that the volume pruning mechanism should *not trigger at all*.
