I'm using removeable hard disk caddies for my backups - is anyone doing
this? I'd be interested in seeing what configuration settings you're
using for your pool - here are mine:

Pool {
 Name = Default
 Pool Type = Backup
 Volume Retention = 3 weeks
 AutoPrune = yes
 Accept Any Volume = yes
 Label Format = Vol
 Use Volume Once = yes
}

Well I'm using external USB drives, which I assume is close enough:

I currently have two pools exactly the same except the name and label format:
QuickDiskPool1 and QuickDiskPool2
One for each disk.
I'm trying to get an alternating set of backups going one week on each disk (we have two).

The pools look like this (except repalve Pool1 with Pool2 in the name and label format for the second pool):

# Pools for DISK based backups on Quick
# A separate pool for each disk
Pool {
 Name = QuickDiskPool1
 Pool Type = Backup
 # there are 10 jobs in including the catgalog
 # so only allow 10 jobs in the volume
 Maximum Volume Jobs = 10
 Label Format = "BaculaQuickFilePool1-"
 AutoPrune = yes
 Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
 Recycle = yes
 Accept Any Volume = no
 # no more than 8 volumes in this ppol this allows
 # one fore each day of the week, plus one spare incase
 # the repalcement disk/media is forgotten
 Maximum Volumes = 8
 Volume Use Duration = 48h
 VolumeRetention =  7d
 Purge Oldest Volume = yes
}
