Hello again ...


I've read and re-read the Basic Volume Management section of the bacula
manual today but I can't figure out why my scheduled jobs report one
volume name while my configuration indicates a different volume name.

bconsole -> status -> director gives me the following list of jobs


Scheduled Jobs:
Level          Type     Pri  Scheduled          Name
Volume
===================================================================================
Differential   Backup    10  07-Aug-09 01:05    Backup Nibbler
Backup_Nibbler.2009-08-06_01.05.02-Differential-17635
Differential   Backup    10  07-Aug-09 01:05    Backup Zapp
Backup_Nibbler.2009-08-06_01.05.02-Differential-17635
Differential   Backup    10  07-Aug-09 01:05    Backup Hypnotoad
Backup_Nibbler.2009-08-06_01.05.02-Differential-17635

All three scheduled jobs are using the same volume.  My Pool definition,
though, looks like this:

Pool {
  Name = LSIPool
  Label Format = "${JobName}-${Level}-${NumVols}"
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = no  
  AutoPrune = yes     
  Use Volume Once = yes
  Volume Retention = 25 days 
  # Accept Any Volume = yes    
  MaximumVolumeBytes = 512m
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
}

My Job definitions all look like this:

Job {
  Name = "Backup Leela"
  Type = Backup
  Client = leela-fd
  FileSet = "Full Set Leela"
  Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
  Storage = BenderStorage
  Messages = Standard
  Pool = LSIPool
  Write Bootstrap = "/usr/local/bacula/var/bacula/working/leela.bsr"
}

 That backup job should use the LSIPool pool.  The LSIPool pool says
volumes should follow a naming convention that uses jobname as part of
the filename.  ( jobname, in this case, would be "Backup Leela" ).


I've tried stopping and starting the director then checking the status
but the job list (and the volume list) remains unchanged.

Separate volumes per job were being used in previous jobs.  I've
apparently changed something but I can't seem to determine *what* has
made the difference.  The Pool and Job definitions look OK to me.


Thanks for any assistance.  I've already put a dent in the desk where my
head keeps hitting it.
