[Bacula-users] Purged, recycled and could not connect to client

Hi,

I'm getting a big problem (for me...) during a client backup. Problem is detailed here:

Bacula detects pararemeters pool and decide to purge and prune volume
After purge and prune, it tries to start backup, but client is not available, so backup fails
Backup is not done, but volume has been purged, pruned and marked as recycled, so user ("owner" of the pool) has lost his previosly backup (or more than one)

This is the email received from bacula:

Now, after backups has failed, this is bacula status:

+------+-------------------------+----------+---------+-----------------+---------+-------------+--------+-----+-----------+------------+-----------------------+

Pool definition is:
Pool {
        Name = User
        Label Format = "Backup-User"
        Use Volume _Once_ = no
        Pool Type = Backup
        Recycle = yes
        AutoPrune = yes
        Storage = BackupRAID5
        Volume Use Duration = 1 months
        Volume Retention = 7 days
        Maximum Volume Jobs = 0
        Maximum Volumes = 2
        Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
        Purge Oldest Volume = yes
        Maximum Volume Bytes = 15GB
}

How can I configure bacula for avoiding a previous purging, prunning and recycling pool if client is not accessible?

Thanks.
