If I want to retire an old server but need to keep the backup data for
several years, what is the best option? Just disable the job? What
happens if the old server is deleted from the clients list?
The big problem is volume recycling. Does this server use volumes that
any other server uses or separate volumes?

Yes, the volumes are shared with other servers/Bacula clients but the
monthly full backups are kept off-site for the requisite period, i.e.
the tapes/volumes are not re-cycled.
Thanks,
