Hi,
I have two questions about doing backups to harddisk with bacula. I'll put
them in seperate emails to keep this clean but they are somewhat related:
1st - What is a good "volume/poll" setup? (Experience question)
2nd - Why does my solution now only use inc-0003? (Config question).
I'll use this email for the second question:
My bacula has been running fine for a couple weeks. But since a couple of
days all Incrementals are added to "Inc-0003". I'm probably not doing the
automatic recycling for volumes correctly but I don't understand where I
made the mistake.
As you can see from the "ls" output below. It worked fine at first.

I'm backing-up to a 500G harddisk attached to the storage. My site looks
like this:
[CLIENT2]--+
+--[INTERNET]--[CLIENT1/DIR/STORAGE]
[CLIENT3]--+
Client 2 and client 3 are Slackware Linux and client 1 is FreeBSD. Client 1
is also the director and storage.
