You do not recall correctly.  If there is an existing eligible
appendable volume, Bacula will use it.

Bacula's priority algorithm in selecting volumes goes something like this:

1.  Currently mounted volumes, if appendable and eligible.
If not, then:
2.  Other appendable volumes, if eligible.
If none, then:
3.  New volume, if available for creation.
If no new volumes can be created, then:
4.  Eligible recycled or recyclable volumes, if any.
If none, then:
5.  Ask the operator to resolve the problem by providing or creating an
appendable volume or purging an old one.
