That's right - normally it displays *unknown* in the column for volume, and it gets a new volume allocated when the job runs. But in the case I showed above, the upcoming jobs had been pre-allocated a volume, which isn't normal. Also, they'd all been allocated the same one, which won't work, as each volume can be used once only. Hence why I'm asking "how could this happen?" and "how do I fix it?" I fixed it (for now) by manually changing the volume to be disabled. The jobs then grabbed another volume, until with enough re-starts and disabling a few volumes, it came back to normal. I think there's a problem with bacula, I'd like to help find out what it is, and how to fix it, but I need some help, as I don't really know where to start looking. Philip.
