Hello Arno, I am trying to do just that. Disk to disk, one partition (NFS actually on a remote storage device)
Below you suggest that it is possible to limit the number of volumes used. I don't think that is working for me so How is it done? In my case I have restricted the volume size to 20GB and I have tried to schedule the FULL on the first day of the month with incrementals on the other month days. It seems to want to do fulls more frequently and just keeps labeling and using new volumes. I can't see why. My config info is attached. There is room for 2.5 FULL's in my partition and so I was hoping that it would start using the volumes from the last FULL when it ran out doing the current FULL.

If you want to control the space taken by backups, you can define a maximum number of volumes of a defined size and thus make sure your backups don't exceed the available partition size. Just keep in mind that you might need a considerable safety margin.
