Hello, i'm using Bacula 2.0.3 in a  Linux FC 7 as server.

 My idea is to use hard disks as storage device but i want to 
 organize the files (volumes) that bacula create using the client name
 as part of the filename, and of course, recycle that files in order to not
 get out of space.

When there is no previus backups, all is ok for the first time.
Then, i have found some problems:

(1) when the retention period expires, and the volume is marked as Purged,     
  (and Recyle is active),  and Bacula run the next job, it use a file/volume   
     but no rename/relabel it on the hard disk.

   Pool 
   {
    Name = Full-Pool
    Pool Type = Backup
    Recycle = yes
    AutoPrune = yes
    Volume Retention = 60 days
    Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
    Label Format = "Full-${Client}-${Day:p/2/0/r}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Year}"
   }

So if i have a file/volume named Full-client1-<date..> and the job is for
client3,the data of cliente3 is stored in this file.

(2) If Bacula starts a job for client1, and client1 is off, Bacula create a
file/volume named Full-client1-...  in a Append state. The client is off but
Bacula create the file.  So when next job start  for other client, ex: client2
Bacula use this file.
Again i have a file named Full-client1... with data from client2.
  

My solution at this time for 1) is disabling recycling, so, Bacula always      
   make a new volume with the correct name.    Then, i use a little script     
    that list all purged volumes and delete them from the catalog and from the
hard disk.  

Solution found for 2) is to use generic names for volumes, and dont use client
name in them. But i want to map filenames with client names.

Any ideas? Any help would be appreciate.
Thank you in advance.
