I currently do a full backup on Fridays and then another full backup on 
Saturdays to a set of disks that go offsite and are rotated every few weeks.

After I put in the new drives with the same mount point and what not, Bacula 
hangs on the jobs saying that the previous volume is not available, which makes 
sense because they are offsite. So every Monday I come into work and manually 
set the Saturday's volumes from Append to Full which solves my issue. Is there 
a way to automate the process of changing the volume status to Full?

I read that you can tell it how long to keep that volume open for, but from 
what I saw, the volume needs to be available on the next use before it figures 
out that it needs to create a new one.

I am using Bacula 5.0.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
