Truncate Cloud Volumes

When Cloud Volumes are truncated by using the Truncate bconsole command, all the part files of the volumes are deleted from the Cloud, except the part.1 file that contains the Bacula Volume label. In the local cache, the part.2 file is created, with zero bytes, and it is not uploaded to the Cloud. Next time the volume is used by a Bacula Job (backup, copy, etc.), the job will start writing to the Cloud volume part.2 file.
