Hi,
one of my (test) jobs filled up one of my disks. Bacula told me to
label a media ... I tried it but choosing the full Disk. Now i get
the following:
Device /backup/disk1 is mounted with Volume file10032006

Hi,
I've running a bacula setup that stores its backups to disk. basicly
i'm very satisfied with the system, but something looks a bit strange

and is not reusing pruned diskspace.

Hi Robert,
I had the same problem here and the solution is quite easy with bacula:
1. I created a batch file on the client (i.e. c:\bacula\before_back.bat)
2. create a VBS Script with the following code:
Dim oOL
Set oOL = CreateObject(Outlook.Application)
oOL.Quit
3. save it as

Hi,
I'm seeing the same problem using a very similar script. Also using
Debian Sarge 3.1 with the latest version of Bacula. I think this is more
to do with Bacula not having finished with the tape drive when the

If anyone knows how this goes let me know.
Thanks,
