Hi Michael,
Bacula will only recycle a volume when there is no appendable volume in the pool. If automatic volume labeling is configured, it will try to label a new one. If none of this occurs, then it will try to recycle one. And when Bacula recycles a volume it overwrites the contents of that volume (disk or tape).
In the case you described here, you set the status to append, so Bacula started to write ate the end of the volume. Basically, Bacula will try to recycle volumes in Purged, Recycle, Used or Full status accordingly to the recycling algorithm. If you had marked the volume purged, them Bacula would have recycled it.
Best regards, Ana
