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.
The delete command...

I still just dont understand what im doing wrong.
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.
Sorry, I can't help you with such a setup because a) you will have to
force Bacula to do something it is not designed for, and b) thus I never
tried it ;-) and c) I wouldn't tell you if I knew because your backup
scheme is, excuse my language, crap. IMO, of course.
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?
You will have to set a short volume retention time, a short volume use
duration, and probably you will need a job triggering automatic pruning
before you backup job starts.
You will also not have a useful backup (for most applications).
What you want to do is much more easily achieved using tar, dump, cpio
or some other tool.

thanks for any help
