If I've copied a volume from deviceA to deviceB (volume1), and now want
to copy newer data from deviceA, how do I purge or overwrite the data on
deviceB, volume1?

Before using bcopy I had to create & label volume1 (to avoid getting
nasty errors when writing, or later, reading the volume), so the bacula
director knows about the volume. However, after I bcopy data to it,
bacula director still thinks that the volume is empty. This would not be
a problem, except that I know of no way to purge or recycle a volume
except through the director. 

Are there other ways/tools for doing this?
