Hi, I'm having a big problem with my bacula configuration.
It is supposed to create a new large archive every time a job is run, with a.o. the job name and start date and time in the name. Now some time ago I changed this scheme, made it small chunks (50 MB), many chunks for one archive. I didn't like it, turned it back (or so I thought) but Bacula is not only still archiving in 50 MB chunks, it's recycling names from back in 2012! I've tried many things, I'm quite sure my configuration is fine now, but it still doesn't work.
