Hi Ryan, What i am trying to do is to force bacula not to reuse any previously written volume EVER.
It's really weird that bacula thinks this volume has no data on it (thanks by the way, i havent noticed that myself :-) ). All volumes contain data, I can restore every one of them. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I have deleted the original e-mail that contained the problem. ;) Please > leave the whole e-mail text intact as it helps people who want to join > in mid-way, even if they have deleted earlier mail. > > Keep in mind that the Recycle flag here is different than Recycle > status.
