I'm experiencing the same problem with
1. The backup will sit and wait for a MOUNT command to start a backup.
2. Sta 2/3/4 will not bring up what it does when you type STA and then 1/2/3/4

You could look up the status command syntax in the manual and you would find that a "status all" or "status dir" works...

I do not run a RUN before script. I have a daily full backup as in this case and a seperate Pool with 1 volume in each pool per day rotated every week... The rentention period was 6 days which Ive now changed to 5 hoping to solve the problem. Do not know what causes the problem.

You need to trigger tape recycling before you start a job.

I'm not sure about this, but it *might* be that there is an issue with the current recycling code (I couldn't verify because I usually have enough free tapes available...). The problem might be that job pruning is not automatically followed with volume pruning. It seems that Bacula looks for a new volume, in the search triggers pruning, but it only prunes jobs from volumes. Only with the next search run, the volumes are recognized as having no more jobs and are recycled. I think the sequence of operatins is as follows:

Search volume
  - prune volumes
  - prune jobs

but, in case no available volumes are found, another prune volumes should follow.

I might be wrong, of course - I didn't even produce debug output during a pruning run.

Any help would be great.
