I fear this behaviour will occur again tonight. When I look at scheduled
jobs I see volume *unknown* for this job. I altered this job using
webmin, which causes normaly no trouble. I even recreated the job and
checked bacula-dir.conf and did a restart of bacula. Pool and storage
looks fine but the next volume is still unknown. The problem seems to
be that the pool keeps being Default instead of the pool I want it to
use. No matter what I try. I don't know what all this has to do with an
error-volume though.
What can I do?

So that means when I start a restore job and data is within a volume
marked error then everything is fine unless it is not corrupted?
