If you purge the volumes completely then they won't exist as volumes anymore and you'll have to relabel them in bacula again. It'll be aggravating as you'll have to "erase" the label from them before you can re-label them. You'd be better off purging the jobs from the volumes: "purge jobs volname=<volumename>" Then follow-up with making sure that the volume is recycleable. -- -- Flak Magnet (Tim) www.flakmagnet.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
