I'm just trying to set bacula up and I've hit a snag which I can't 
fathom out.

I've got a 'daily' pool of tapes which I use from monday to thursday, 
reusing the tapes each week. I also have a larger pool of friday tapes.

Yesterday I reloaded the previous week's volume which had a retention 
period of 5 days and the backup proceeded to append to the tape instead 
of overwriting it. I've seen comments on the 'net about the tape status 
needing to be 'full' or 'used' instead of append, but I don't know how 
to arrange that to happen automatically after a backup completes.

any help gratefully received

Kevin Thorpe
