Hello all.
I'm trying to run a btape "fill" test, and keep getting the same
message.
The message returned is something similar to the following:
Warning: Requested Volume "TestVolume1" on /dev/st0 is not a Bacula
labeled Volume, because: ERR=block.c:793 Read zero bytes at 0:0 on
device /dev/st0.
Kern,
I mistyped the directive. It is "Accept Any Volume." Am I to understand
that this is obselete, or did I merely accidentally refer to an old
name? I read it in the manual:

If you are using PostgreSQL, and it involves multiple tapes, and the tapes are
not read back in the order that they were written, it is possible that you
have run into a rather obscure bug.

I'm fine with the way I chose it. There WERE differential backups before

What my superiors generally mean for software support is that if the
