to use bscan tool to automatically update the catalog with all the

not recycle the volume unless it has expired even if there
are no appendable volumes left.
There is another option called "Purge Oldest Volume" which doesn't honor
the retention period and it will recycle the volume regardless of the
retention period.
Also, depending on your backup strategy you
art the additional bacula-fd service and bind it to a floating
(clustered) IP rather than bind it to all interfaces which might be
considered security issue even if it's protected by firewall rules.
