Bacula processes all records for each volume in a logical order (i.e. in the order it expects them to be found on the Volume), it then proceeds with the next Volume. In the case presented below, I suspect that this is the result of a number of backup operations where Bacula wrote the Full backup, then the Diff and Inc backups (if any) were appended. This leads to an unoptimized bsr where all files in the backup will be restored, then the same file in an Diff and Inc that is backed up will overlay the first file (inefficient, but it gives the right results). In this case, I *think* that Bacula will process all records for the VXA-0008 Volume before proceeding to the LTO-0001 Volume. Of course, since this file was written by version 1.36 software, Bacula will not be able to switch drives ...
