I set "Use Volume Once" and "Maximum Volume Jobs", but now I have another problem. I have three concurrent jobs running. I messes up the first two jobs by using same file and purging data for the two jobs. Starting from 4th job it saves each to seperate file.

Here is my pool resource:

# Full backup to disk pool definition
Pool
{
Name = FullBackupDiskPool
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Use Volume _Once_ = yes
Volume Retention = 2 weeks
Storage = File
Label Format = "FullBackup-${Client}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Year}"
}


Here is what I see on bconsole:

As you can see it uses same volume, FullBackup-lidp11-fd-04-30-2008, for first three jobs, and it purges the volumes when it starts second and third job.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
