Hi Brian,

I tried the sql thing to start with... and got the following :


*sql
Entering SQL query mode.
Terminate each query with a semicolon.
Terminate query mode with a blank line.
Enter SQL query: SELECT MediaId,VolumeName,VolStatus FROM Media WHERE 
VolumeName='wednesday';
+---------+------------+-----------+
| MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus |
+---------+------------+-----------+
|            3 | wednesday  | Full      |
+---------+------------+-----------+
Enter SQL query:

It would appear its full... I wonder why Bacula is not recycling it??

Thanks for your help!

Keith
