Hey guys,

        At work, we use Bacula 1.36 running on Debian 3.1. We're using
it to backup a mix of Windows/Linux/FreeBSD clients. We use a Sony AIT-3
drive/tapes. We use one pool for that drive, with 20 volumes. They are
labeled using the following scheme, we have 4 weeks (W1 to W4) and we
use 5 tapes per week (D1 to D5) which in turns makes volumes named like
W1D1.

        So every night, we do a full backup of each clients/servers from
monday to friday, no backup during the weekends.

        The first volume that was added to the pool is W3D2. Once in a
while, bacula asks for that volume to be mounted (for no apparent reason
in the logs). Which cause my backup to fail, because a different volume
is mounted.

        Knowing very well that the volume I've put in the drive is correct, how
do you tell bacula to use whatever is in the drive? Instead of what it
thinks should be used? And why does it always ask for the first volume
that was added to the pool?

Here's some snippets of our config, if you require more info, debug
logs, email reports, etc, let me know.

Pool {
  Name = Default
  Pool Type = Backup
  Auto Prune = yes
  Recycle = yes
  Recycle Current Volume = yes
  Volume Retention = 20d
  Volume Use Duration = 20h
}

Thanks and have a nice day,
