*Just to give a personal contribution about the subject*.
1. It's redundant to have date variables on the volume names, since you have the Label Date information on Bacula Catalog, that can be accessed with the "llist" command.
2. For disk backups I like to use something like: Label Format = "${Pool}-${NumVols}", or maybe: "${Pool}-${NumVols}-${Storage}"; NumVols is a incremental counter of volumes in pool, and this way you will have always a unique name for each volume.

Assunto: Re: [Bacula-users] Problem of "is waiting on max storage jobs" and "is waiting for an appendable volume"
You´re welcome Sieu :-)
About the label format: when Bacula recycles a volume, it doesn´t change the label. So if you have a thursday-2014-11-6 volume, with 13 days retention period and , then it could be recycled and used by Bacula at 2014-11-27, but your volume name will stay the first label thursday-2014-11-6. So, in the case of reusing volumes, it is better to not have dates on volumes names. Instead, maybe you can have thursday-1, thursday-2, etc.
Best regards,
Ana
