Hello !
I'm having a problem with my exabyte VXA-2 (10 tape autoloader) and
bacula v. 1.38.2.
When I try to run the label command, bacula-sd crashes like so

Ah! This may be why I'm having so much trouble.
Now the important question that is not jumping out at me from the

of 13 days 19 hours, how do I handle
The manual sections for "Recycle Oldest Volume", "Recycle Current Volume" and
"Purge Oldest Volume" end in "The default is ." but presumably there should be
something before the dot.

is it possible to clone a Volume within bacula in order to copy the

I was thinking about using "dd" for this purpose, but perhaps someone
