I've set LabelMedia = yes and Recycle = yes and there are pruned volumes
on my backup media so why doesn't bacula use those volumes instead
creating new ones ?
My objective is to make backup totally automatic using a USB hd. It's to
make users able to backup their server without having a root access to
it, nor using the command line (web apps have been written to let users
schedule some backups).
What should be the best solution (I've apparently missed something) ?
