Bacula just stumped me; I started it off appending to a volume. Bacula diligently stated that it would have to skip to the unused block (I'd un/mounted the volume, so it back at 1). However, as it seeked, the drives' LCD said "WRITING" instead of "SEEKING" which it usually says during such chores.

Thanks for the help. I'm trying VolumeToCatalog, and I believe it is working. My problem with testing was probably that I was expecting Bacula to make another checksum for the disk file that was backed up and compare that with what's on the volume.
