Not within Bacula, but you can use the @output command in bconsole:

@output /tmp/out.txt
list media pool=Default
@output

and then open /tmp/out.txt in a text editor.

You can also run bconsole in a GNU Emacs shell (as long as bconsole is built
without conio).

 Wouldn't the volume retention period need to be shorter?

   
Retention period is how long to keep the volume before it can be 
reused.
   
So if I don't want to reuse volumes I should set the retention period 
to
zero?
   
  
   Definitely not. I know telling bacula to keep your backup data for 0
   seconds is not what you want. Set this to the amount of time you want
   to keep your data after the backup is finished.
  
Reusing the files (a volume is just a collection of 512m files per my
configuration) is what I want to stop.
   
  
   I got you there. As you mentioned you need to turn off automatic
   volume recycling. Please post your configs. Have you had bacula reload
   the config file after you have changed it?
  
   I restarted the bacula director after making the changes.  Subsequent
   backup jobs still re-used files.
  
   From bacula-dir.conf
  
   Pool {
Name = Default
Label Format = ${JobName}-${Level}-${NumVols}
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = no
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Use Volume Once = yes
Volume Retention = 25 days
MaximumVolumeBytes = 512m
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
   }
  
   Client {
 Name = client-fd
 Address = server.com
 FDPort = 9102
 Catalog = MyCatalog
 Password = ***
 File Retention = 21 days
 Job Retention = 21 days
 AutoPrune = yes
   }

   media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes;   # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
   }
  
  
  I think I see why this is happening.
  
  Do the following
  list media pool=Default

 I restarted the bacula director after making the changes.  Subsequent

 From bacula-dir.conf

I think I see why this is happening.

Do the following
list media pool=Default

and see if Recycle=1 is set in any of the volumes.

if so

update

and then select Pool from resource

and follow the prompts.

Is there a way to paginate the response from these list commands?  I
have 37k entries in this pool ...
