Just a comment here. Since you have "volume use duration = 7 days" and your
volume was used until 12:58 next day, I'm quite sure (don't know how is
your schedule configured) that this volume will be available (append) for
use in the next week by your backup jobs. Because of your "volume use

Hi Giuseppe,
Yes, this could happen if bacula couldn't find a reciclable volume and you
have the "purge oldest volume = yes" directive configured and this is, for
Bacula, the oldest volume. The purge oldest volume doesn't respect the
volume retention period.

Nope, i don't use this option. My bacula version is 5.0.3.

Hello Cleuson.
What exactly is your problem, I mean, why would you need to restore some
Incremental backup but not all? Maybe by understanding your problem we can
help you.
Anyway, you can restore only specific JobID's using restore in bconsole,
maybe you can pass the jobid's of the Incremental B
have you update your volume?
isn't enough to make changes in the config file, use update volume
command from bconsole

It doesn't address the issue that Bacula refuses to purge the volume I
requested, and that it does not respond to the request with an
appropriate (or any) error message - causing me to have to exit the
