Hi mates,
I finally found the problem :) a very deep problem lol
I was used to create the scratch volumes because I though they should be
created at first. So I did a label, update and so... but there was no
need of doing nothing of that kind because Bacula uses volumes existing
in the scratch or it creates new volumes and moves them to the requirant
pool.
The problem was to do more than needed lol
Cheers :)
