Most storage media have a limited capacity, meaning that you can only store a limited amount of data on them. After that, trying to write more data to it will fail with an error condition known as "End Of Media", "No space left on device", or similar. This is commonly known as the "full" condition. :-) Bacula, in particular, marks a volume as "Full" if an attempt to write more data to it fails. This covers the case where the supporting media is actually full (such as a tape reaching its end) but may also happen if the media is defective.
