Instead of using one big file, use one file per job. Otherwise, you will 
eventually run out of hard disk space, regardless of how big your hard 
disk is.

It involves configuring a pool, setting the "Maximum Volume Jobs = 1" 
parameter, and configuring the pool to automatically label new volumes. 
I use a label format that includes both the client and job name, the 
date of the backup and the backup level (Incremental, Differential, or 
Full). Careful: if you do that, be sure to turn off recycling, or you 
will create a mess.

Actually, I use three separate pools for the three levels - that allows 
me to also configure different retention times (other than that, they 
are all the same).

Pool {
  Name = Full-XXXX-Pool
  Pool Type = Backup
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
  Recycle = no
  AutoPrune = no
  Volume Retention = 35 days
  Label Format = "${Client}_${Job:s/ 
/_/g}_${Year}${Month:p/2/0/r}${Day:p/2/0/r}${Hour:p/2/0/r}${Minute:p/2/0/r}${Second:p/2/0/r}_Full.bacula"
}
