I see what you mean and it makes sense. Right now when a full backup runs it's around 4GB so when an incremental runs it fills up that volume and *MAY* label another to finish the backup task. It would make more sense in my situation to just limit the volume to 1 job.

You can configure bacula to use one volume per job by using the Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 directive (you'd need to get rid of the MaxVolBytes definition then though as it wouldn't make sense anymore) We define a full pool with 3 max volumes and an incremental pool with 8 volumes for a "regular" client in our setup.
