Arno, Thanks a lot, pretty simple. I just updated all informations running "update" from console and selecting option 13, then "status 1" showed "07-Nov 12:46 hefesto-dir: Max configured use duration exceeded. Marking Volume "StorageDisk" as Used."
So I just ran a job and the new volume has been created: "Volume name(s): Backup-2008-11-07" About my bacula version, do you think that the debian version have a lot of problems? I believe that the package maintainer use some patches to keep it stable, I'm I right? Anyway, really thanks for the tip, one more learned. Fábio Catunda.
