I probably misunderstood but thought the volume was Full or Purged and it was
a question for choosing it for recycling. If that is the case, turning off
the Recycle flag will prevent the Volume from being recycled and re-written.
If Bacula has been writing on the Volume and it is not yet Full or Purged,
then you can mark it Full and turn off the Recycle flag and that should
prevent Bacula from writing on it until you reset the Recycle flage.
Changing the enabled flag is also possible, but it is much more drastic as it
will prevent all use of the Volume include prevent the normal Volume pruning.
Either way should work OK.
