You need to have a different pool to do your backup in. The Scratch
pool is a special pool that the other pools go to when they are out of
media.
I have 3 pools a Scratch, Weekly and Daily pool. All new tapes are put
into the Scratch pool then backups are done in the Weekly and Daily
pool.
Don't configure your jobs to USE the scratch pool. That's the root of the
issue.
Instead, set your job's pool to be something else OTHER than Scratch, let's
say it's Client1_Pool just for example. Of course, you'll have to define
the pool to the director and reload the config before you run

After a holiday hiatus and some soul-searching (aka curling up w/ the Bacula
manual) I was able to make some significant progress
I couldn't figure out what caused the initial missing catalog data.
Since I had recently upgraded and wasn't capturing good backups, I dropped

I have setup a pool of disk volumes
Pool {

The first backup written to this pool occurred on a Wednesday, and so the

Found them. If ONLY I had searched a little longer

Hey folks,
I'm sure I have had this issue settled however...
My goal is to overwrite the backup-to-disk volumes everyday except Thursday
(another story). My understanding is that the following segment of my
bacula-dir.conf file will do the trick. However, it is not.
# Default Job Definition
As I understand it, the above configuration will simply reuse the volume in
the selected pool. What am I missing?
How many volumes do you have in the Wednesday pool? I hope more than 5
because bacula will not reuse any volume that is currently being used
in the running backup.

John,
As a matter of fact, I did (which is a different issue.) When I started the

Actually, it looks like your autolabel mechanism is not incrementing
