I have automatic backups configured for my server with volumes being automaticaly recycled after 60days. I am receiving a message from Bacula "Please mount Volume "michael0008" or label a new one for ...".

 the volume is currently in the Recycle status. If I understand correctly, this means the volume has been recycled and is ready to be reused. If so why can't bacula auto mount it? This is likely a simple problem but the solution is escaping me.

list volumes
