You should always have at least 1 full backup on bacula volumes at all
times. Each week when bacula is doing the full backup you have no
backups. If the machine died (hard disk crash) then your data will be
lost.

As long as you have not written anything to the volume you can recover
individual files with bextract or reimport the entire volume to the
catalog with bscan.
