I see what you mean and it makes sense. Right now when a full backup runs
it's around 4GB so when an incremental runs it fills up that volume and
*MAY* label another to finish the backup task. It would make more sense
in my situation to just limit the volume to 1 job.
Thanks for the advice!

Hi Michael,
in this case you might want to consider setting up separate pools & storages
for full and incremental backups, so you have an easy way later on to
archive a full backup once a month by copying over a full volume to another
usb disk and store it offsite or whatever.
You can configure bacula to use one volume per job by using the
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
directive (you'd need to get rid of the MaxVolBytes definition then though
as it wouldn't make sense anymore)
We define a full pool with 3 max volumes and an incremental pool with
8 volumes for a "regular" client in our setup.
Cheers, Uwe
