Hey guys
i've been using bacula for some time to do file backups with no problems.
Now i am trying to do dvd backups and i've been making nice coasters.
i basically have 2 separate problems and fixing either of them would be 
good, both would be perfect. i followed both dvd tutorials available and 
trying to find previous messages on the list but searching isn't that easy.
Anyway, here is my first problem. i'm using ubuntu 2.6.24 and bacula 2.2.8
1) i labeled 2 disks the same (this was actually very confusing, after 
labeling the disk bacula still was asking for a disk to be labeled, it 
didn't say anything about it being the second disk) and when the backup 
process failed before burning the actual data the disks became unusable, 
i tried fixing the volBytes entry using bscan and making the volume 
appendable but bscan seemed to be creating a wrong entry by like 20 
bytes so bacula still complained about sizes mismatch. How can i use 
those disks that are still almost new just labeled but with nothing in 
them??
2) after trying lots of things i manage to burn a disk but when it asked 
for the second disk (which is actually part #1, it looks like bacula 
burns from last to first??) i made a mistake and stopped the process, so 
now i have a disk with the complete and valid second part of the backup. 
Is there a way to resume the process using that disk that already has 
everything from disk #2 in it??

this is the current status of my catalog

i upgraded today to bacula 2.4.2 but won't be trying anything in hope 
for some feedback.

Thanks for any thoughts

Alejandro
