John (Gabriel Says) I also have Use Volume Once = yes configured -- Based one what I've read today from people on the list, my understanding is that even if Volume Once is configured to yes, this only means that once the volume become available, by its retention period expiring, or newly created, it'll only have one job on it. So, as a remedy, I think I'll have a retention period of 200 years, and let my replacement worry about it :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
