Hello all, I have an interesting situation with my backups. I have a rotating backup system going to files. Incrementals daily, differentials bi-monthly, fulls monthly. I set it up just like the example in the bacula doc. All volumes recycle so I end up with 7 incremental volumes, 2 differential volumes and 1 full volume.
This has been running fine. The strange part is, I receive an error every night and then the backup goes through without intervention. How can I prevent the following error message? It asks for intervention, spits out the error email but then goes through without intervention. 08-Aug 02:05 sd: Job backup.2005-08-08_02.05.00 waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes. Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for: Storage: storage Media type: File Pool: Inc-Pool 08-Aug 03:05 dir: Pruned 1 Job on Volume "Inc-0006" from catalog. 08-Aug 03:05 dir: Recycled volume "Inc-0006" 08-Aug 03:05 sd: Recycled volume "Inc-0006" on device "/backups/storage", all previous data lost. 08-Aug 03:05 dir: Max Volume jobs exceeded. Marking Volume "Inc-0006" as Used.

I checked space and I have plenty so that is not the issue.
