Yes. Automatic recycling will not function with a single volume.

Are the volumes marked Full or Used and then has the volume retention
period expired from the time that is marked as last used in the
volume?

At the moment I have no time to read your config to figure out what
retention period you set. Sorry.

Not sure. Please open a new thread posting the messages you get back
from bconsole when running a full backup. Or do you mean scheduled
jobs?

Run the script from the shell as user bacula and see what happens.
