I think there is no documented list and some are never be used explicitly. Append - can be used for backups now Archive - will not be used for backups (set by bscan) Cleaning - a cleaning bacula volstatus error tape (only in the catalog, not on the tape!) Error - got an error in the past and will not be used Full - reached its max capacity Purged - jobs no longer in the catalog, waiting to be recycled Recycle - ready to be reused Used - reached its max use time > When does Bacula itself check for one of those values? It will only write to volumes with the Append status. It will only reuse volumes in the Recycle status. It will only recycle volumes with the Purged status. It will only prune & purge volumes with the Full or Used status. > When does Bacula itself change the status of a volume to one of > those values?
