Hello,
It should not take "I need a lot of new volumes to handle what amounts
to a full backup of 160G of data" unless you are artificially
restricting volume size. Unless I misunderstood what you wrote, you
should not have 40 volumes to store 160G of data. One would be
sufficient. In fact having so many volumes is a big disadvantage
particularly from a performance stand point (Bacula is not very
efficient when handling volume sets).
Best regards,

Of course I restrict the volume size. That's normal for Bacula.
The 40 volumes are for all the previous backups as well. The issue is
that because I moved 160G of data from one machine to another, Bacula
treats it as new data that needs a complete backup. That's why I need a
large number of additional volumes. Presumably the older backups will
eventually be purged so the number of volumes can be reduced over time.
