If you are using the Label Format attribute to assign volume, bacula normally appends the media ID. However, if you use variable expansion to generate the name, it doesn't - and I don't see a way to use variable expansion to add it again. I don't see it among the documented variables; is there an undocumented variable that would do it?
Also, the documentation at http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/Variable_Expansion.html says that variable expansion is deprecated and replaced with python scripting (not yet documented). Since it has been a while, is there any documentation available for that by now? Or better yet, any chance to get variable expansion un-deprecated for bacula 3.0? It seems like such a simple, useful feature. And a suggestion for the documentation: add a cautionary note: Usually, it is not a good idea to use job-related variables to generate volume labels. This is because volumes get recycled, and may in the future contain data from jobs entirely unrelated to the volume label. -- Kevin Keane Owner The NetTech Turn your NetWORRY into a NetWORK!
