I am a new user to bacula, i have read through the documentation, have it installed on gentoo, and have made one successful backup. This is all rather confusing to me. After playing around with it i have a ton of listed backup jobs, but i can find no where to delete them.

All i want it to do is backup the selected directories once a day (which it did once), but i only want to use one tape and i want it to reuse the tape every night. i keep getting that the device is full, which i want it to either erase whats on there or recursively backup the files that have changed (even better). But i dont know how to do that. i have tried adding tapes and think i have failed with that because it keeps asking me now to insert a different volume 25-Mar 01:05 mail-sd: MailBackup.2006-03-25_01.05.00 Warning: Director wanted Volume "Vol-10001". Current Volume "Backup1" not acceptable because: 1998 Volume "Backup1" status is Full, but should be Append, Purged or Recycle. I guess what i want to do is start over with the whole volume/job thing and start fresh and see if i can get this working, so how do i delete volumes and jobs so i can recreate? and also how do i tell it to either erase the tape on a new backup or recursively backup the changed files from day to day? thanks for any help Nick ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
