Hi Kern, Thank you for the thoughtful response. Yes, I see now where using the "enabled" field for a volume would probably be an incorrect use of it. I will investigate setting the status of the volume(s) to "disabled", "read-only", or maybe "Busy" instead of manipuating the "enabled" field and see if that works to fix my "No Full backup found" issue as well as to keep Bacula from requesting or attempting to use these volumes during a backup - My guess is that it will solve both issues and will be a more appropriate solution.
