Summary:                    Volumes are not taken from Scratch Pool
Description: 
In the setup below, I expect that:

1. old volumes are moved into _recycle-incremental.newport.e

2. when new volumes are required, they are taken from
_recycle-incremental.newport.e


Unfortunately, only point 1. applies and the recycle pool grows and grows.  When
'incremental.newport.e' needs a new volume, a new one will be created but not
taken from the scratch pool.

I use this setup because I want to limit the total number of volumes. E.g. I am
using disk based volumes and there can be created more than one volume per
backup in rare situations.  With a traditional setup (no recycle/scratch) pool,
the normal pool would get more and more volumes which are difficultly to
distinguish.

With the pool -> recycle -> pool setup, I wanted to move old volumes to the
_recycle pool and clean up the recycle pool from time to time manually.


--------------------
Pool {
  Name = "incremental.newport.e"
  Pool Type = Backup
  Storage = "storage-newport.e"
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Label Format = "INC-"
  Volume Use Duration = 23 hours
  Volume Retention = 1 month
  Action On Purge = Truncate
  Scratch Pool = "_recycle-incremental.newport.e"
  Recycle Pool = "_recycle-incremental.newport.e"
  #Recycle Pool = "incremental.newport.e"
  
}

Pool {
  Name = "_recycle-incremental.newport.e"
  Pool Type = Backup
  Storage = "storage-newport.e"
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Action On Purge = Truncate
  Purge Oldest Volume = yes
  Volume Use Duration = 1 hour
  Volume Retention = 1 hour
}
