Hello Donna,
Check your backup joblog(s) from last night.
I suspect that this volume from June 18th was recycled.
You probably want to disable volume recycling in your Pool configurations
(Recycle = no), and/or use a setting like "UseVolumeOnce = yes" so that you
get the desired results. Although this UseVolumeOnce option is documented to
phased out at some point in favor of setting "MaximumVolumeJobs = 1"
Chapter 20 "Automatic Volume Recycling", and chapter 12.16 "The pool Resource"
in the main manual explains some of this pretty well.
Hope this helps.
Bill
