Clearly. To make a Purge of some volume, as I said, or to give the volume that Bacula is waiting. The 'mount' command is for saying to Bacula that uses the new available volume without having to wait the retry backup time arrives? > > But I consider that this does not assure that this situation appears > > again. > > > > In such case, what you recommend to me to avoid that it returns to > > happen?

Good. It was something that I imagined, but whatever happens I wanted to ask to you if there were another better alternative :-) After to swap the volumes, as you said above, it would be necessary to Purge all them and to issue a mount, I suppose. Is it correct? Thanks for your reply. Regards, Daniel -- Fingerprint: BFB3 08D6 B4D1 31B2 72B9 29CE 6696 BF1B 14E6 1D37 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux Squeeze - Linux user #188.598
