No.  It will get recycled and bacula will want to use it again without 
modifying the label so it will retain the original date stamp.

No

I prefer to not have a clear file name per job (just let bacula manage 
naming volumes itself) and use a fixed # of fixed sized volumes and 
the bacula virtual autochanger. 

Ah, blast.  OK, back to a rolling pool of similar files then I guess.
Cheers for clearing this up for me and saving a huge headache in a month or 
two's time!
