Well, I thought I had ... Relevant sections of bacula-dir.conf: Job { Name = "BackupHome" Type = "Backup" Level = "Full" Client = "Server-fd" FileSet = "Home" Storage = "DLT-V4" Pool = "AC-recycle" Priority = "10" Messages = Standard Schedule = "DailyCycle" } Pool { Name = "AC-recycle" PoolType = "Backup" Recycle = "yes" AutoPrune = "yes" VolumeRetention = 0 days Maximum Volume Bytes = 148118648832 Recycle Current Volume = "yes" LabelFormat = "Recycle-" } What am I missing or doing wrong???
