Thanks Troy.

I'm looking at the job logs and, like you have said, I found the following line:

Apr 22:28 srvmibackup-5004-dir JobId 1268: Max Volume jobs exceeded. Marking 
Volume "Tuesday" as Used.

Her my config:
JobDefs{
    Name = "TapeBackup"
    Type = Backup
    Schedule = "WeeklyTape"
    Pool = Weekly
    Storage = Srvmifs-5009-tape
    Messages = BackupMsg
    Max Wait Time = 12h
    Enabled = yes
    Priority = 12
}

Pool {
    Name = TuesdayPool
    Pool Type = Backup
    Recycle = yes
    AutoPrune = yes
    Volume Retention = 5 days
    Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
    Maximum Volume Bytes = 80GB
    Label Format = Tuesday-
}

So I think the error is in "Maximum Volume Jobs = 1", but why?

Thanks

Status of 'Used' is different to a status of 'Full' - it indicates that for 
some reason Bacula has decided to stop using that tape at some point. Check 
your job output emails and you should see why it's done this.

It's normally because you've limited the number of jobs, tape size or tape use 
duration in the config somewhere.

Hope this helps point you in the right direction. Posting your configs to the 
mailing list would be the next step so maybe others can spot the problem.

Cheers,


Troy.
