I took the simple way out, waited for the backup job to finish with
that volume and move to the next, purged and deleted that volume and
subsequent volumes, rescheduled the job I just destroyed, and am waiting
to recreate the disk volumes. The only irritating part is the loss of
time. I'm in the middle of doing my monthly fulls, so no big deal really.

I thought there might be a simple way to fix my mistake.

Thanks for the answers.
