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
