Its possible that you have used up all the space in your backup partition and bacula is thus unable to append to any volumes. I've gotten this message as a result of that. If you aren't recycling volumes or anything, this situation increases in likelyhood. If you want to fix the problem so that it never comes back (assuming my speculation above really is the source of the problem), you will need to make sure that you recycle volumes at whatever intervals are necessary to prevent you from running out of space. -davidc -- Sometimes it's a little better to travel than to arrive. -Robert Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance) ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
