I'm having recycling issues. I followed the howto in the bacula documentation and setup my backups with Full, Incremental, and Diffs with recycle times identical to theirs. It does not seem to have worked as expected. Is adding another volume to the pool a cheap waying of getting around this?
Either way I'm going to re-evaluate my backup strategy as this experience has proven that my backup schema still has holes in it and is not bullet proof.

There should be no overwriting of any backup. It still exists on
tape. I'm sure.
