John,

As a matter of fact, I did (which is a different issue.) When I started the 
back up, I had 50GB left on the volume. The typical backup consumes only 25 GB 
The size of the Wednesday5 volume. When I issued "list volumes" within 
bconsole, Wednesday volume was at 77GB and of course the "media" was fully 
consumed. So, the Wednesday5 volume should have been overwritten instead of 
tripling it's size (no, 50GB of new data was not created yesterday.)

For the record, this happens several times per week and I have to manually 
delete old volumes.

Ok. I see that is not the reason. Did you run out of space on the
 filesystem?
