Hi,

I have two newbie questions..

1. While all my verify jobs work manualy, none seem to work when scheduled...
Each day I get "Verify Fatal Error" on my 4 jobs.

  Start Verify JobId=719 Level=Incremental Job=filer_Verify.2009-03-14_05.00.57
  Fatal error: verify.c:277 Unimplemented Verify level 73(I)
  Error: Bacula backup-dir 2.4.2 (26Jul08): 14-Mar-2009 05:00:02

What parameters should I check?
Here's one verify job:

  Job {
    Name = "pc-03 Verify"
    JobDefs = "DefaultJob_pc-03"
    Type = Verify
    Verify Job = "pc-03 Backup"
    Level = VolumeToCatalog
    Schedule = "WeeklyCycle_5am"
  }

and

  Schedule {
    Name = "WeeklyCycle_5am"
    Run = Full 1st sun at 5:00
    Run = Differential 2nd-5th sun at 5:00
    Run = Incremental mon-sat at 5:00
  }

2. What would be the "best practice" with backups to an external USB HD...?
So far I use file storages and it works but I just reached the "Cannot find any 
appendable volumes" (USB HD full)...
Here are the confs for one client:

  Schedule {
    Name = "WeeklyCycle_3am"
    Run = Full 1st sun at 3:00
    Run = Differential 2nd-5th sun at 3:00
    Run = Incremental mon-sat at 3:00
  }

  Client {
    Name = pc-03
    Address = pc-03.dom
    FDPort = 9102
    Catalog = MyCatalog
    Password = "fdpass"
    File Retention = 60 days
    Job Retention = 6 months
    AutoPrune = yes
  }

  JobDefs {
    Name = "DefaultJob_pc-03"
    Type = Backup
    Level = Incremental
    Schedule = "WeeklyCycle_3am"
    Storage = FileStorage_pc-03
    Messages = Standard
    Pool = Full-Pool_pc-03
    Full Backup Pool = Full-Pool_pc-03
    Incremental Backup Pool = Incr-Pool_pc-03
    Differential Backup Pool = Diff-Pool_pc-03
    FileSet = "pc-03 set"
    Client = pc-03
    Priority = 10
  }

  Device {
    Name = FileStorage_pc-03
    Archive Device = /FILER/bacula/pc-03
    Media Type = File_pc-03
    Label Media = yes;
    Random Access = yes;
    Automatic Mount = yes;
    Removable Media = no;
    AlwaysOpen = no;
  }

  Pool {                                   # Full backups recycled after 6 
months
    Name = Full-Pool_pc-03
    Pool Type = Backup
    Recycle = yes
    AutoPrune = yes
    Volume Retention = 12 months
    Maximum Volume Jobs = 0
    Label Format = 
"{Client}-full-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}_${NumVols}"
    Maximum Volumes = 0
    Maximum Volume Bytes = 500000000000
  }

  Pool {                            # Differential backups recycled after 6 
weeks
    Name = Diff-Pool_pc-03
    Pool Type = Backup
    Recycle = yes
    AutoPrune = yes
    Volume Retention = 6 weeks
    Maximum Volume Jobs = 0
    Label Format = 
"{Client}-diff-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}_${NumVols}"
    Maximum Volumes = 0
    Maximum Volume Bytes = 500000000000
  } 

  Pool {                             # Incremental backups recycled after 2 
weeks
    Name = Incr-Pool_pc-03
    Pool Type = Backup
    Recycle = yes
    AutoPrune = yes
    Volume Retention = 2 weeks
    Maximum Volume Jobs = 0
    Label Format = 
"{Client}-incr-${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}_${NumVols}"
    Maximum Volumes = 0
    Maximum Volume Bytes = 500000000000
  } 

I tried "Maximum Volume Bytes" but it does not seem to trigger recycling...  I 
guess the check is limited to one job and not the whole thing.
Am I forced to reduce the "Volume Retention" times by trial and error or is 
there any easier solution?

Thx,
JD
