I fear this behaviour will occur again tonight. When I look at scheduled jobs I see volume *unknown* for this job. I altered this job using webmin, which causes normaly no trouble. I even recreated the job and checked bacula-dir.conf and did a restart of bacula. Pool and storage looks fine but the next volume is still unknown. The problem seems to be that the pool keeps being Default instead of the pool I want it to use. No matter what I try. I don't know what all this has to do with an error-volume though.

So that means when I start a restore job and data is within a volume marked error then everything is fine unless it is not corrupted? > John > Thank you!
