Hi all,

Thanks to John for his answer.

I have a lot of volumes which are marked Recycle. When a job start, it
recycle the volume which was used for the latest backup and the wolume which
is inserted in the drive. It is normal?

I just want bacula to recycle the volume which is inserted in the drive in
order it can backup on this one...

Thanks for your help.

Ludovic.
