A volume goes from state Append to state Full when an attempt to write more data to it fails because there's no space left. A volume goes from state Append to state Used when its maximum use time expires. In both cases, Bacula will not attempt to write more data to it.
In both cases you can set the volume state back to Append manually through the "update volume" command and Bacula will believe you that the volume can be written to. However in the first case the first attempt to actually write more data to the volume will most probably fail in the same way that caused the volume to be set to state Full in the first place, causing it to be set to Full again. In the second case Bacula will notice the expired maximum use time and set the volume to Used again unless you modify the maximum use time too. The other way to write to a Used or Full volume is of course to recycle it, losing all the data currently in it.
