I knew my problem was state related. I figured it out! I had killed a job while testing some changes and it left a phantom, unused volume in the catalog (I had deleted the file since I killed the job).
This is what I found when I did a "list media" on this client's pool: | MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | Enabled | VolBytes | VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten | +---------+-----------------------------------+-----------+---------+------- ------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+-- -------------------+ | 3254 | client | Append | 1 | 181 | 0 | 31536000 | 0 | 0 | 0 | File | 0 Deleted the volume from the catalog and I just ran a backup successfully without any intervention. :) -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Shanholtz [mailto:jeffs...@shanholtz.com] Sent: Monday, August 08, 2011 12:52 PM To: Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] please mount volume or label a new one >> I have always kept Maximum Volume Jobs at 1 for this and all other >> (working) clients.
