We have test setup with 2 clients. Each of them must be backed up to 
separate volume (disk file). For this we using following config 
(attached). The problem is: when backup schedule time arrived and 2nd 
client have problems (for example turned-off) director _first_ creates 
new volume for this client and only then tries to connect to file daemon 
on this client. Which results in empty volume with status append. Then 
when next  backup time arrives for 1st client - director see that append 
volume exists and does not create separate volume for this. Its 
unacceptable. Any ideas how in any stance backup for each client goes 
only to its volumes?

In log files:
2nd client is turned off but volume automatically created.
