Hi all!

During the last process of backup scheduled by Bacula, I received the
following notification by email.

30-Mar 08:27 backup1-sd: Please mount Volume "EducarFull0004" on Storage
Device "Drive-1" (/dev/nst0) for Job Cygnus.2009-03-28_00.00.19

Reviewing the state of the volumes, I found the following situation:

Pool: Full

Apparently Bacula is wanting to use a volume that is not in autochanger and
whose state is Append when being all the volumes in autochanger in Full
state. I suppose that changing manually the state of some volume in
autochanger to Purged, the backup process would be resumed, is it correct?
But I consider that this does not assure that this situation appears again.

In such case, what you recommend to me to avoid that it returns to happen?
It would help to take advantage of this moment to now do a change of tapes
putting oldest and putting to all these tapes in autochanger in Purged
state so that they are recycled?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Daniel
