recycle oldest respects retention of files and jobs.

I think first written, not totally sure

yes, restoring the entire job is always an option if the job record
exists with purged files.

If the volume is purged, then there will be no knowledge of the job or
where it is on the tape, so bscan would be required.

bscan required is my understanding.

Bacula is pretty flexible. I had to read the pool directives, try some
stuff for a bit, then read it again to fully appreciate what it took to
get the results I wanted. Heck, I'm still not sure if I'm quite there
yet.
