I'm wondering if I'm working my way into a mess by installing
different version of bacula on windows than on linux.
The latest available build on gentoo linux is 1.36.3 and I see the
download offered for windows is 1.38.X
So will running a 1.38* file daemon with a 1.36 director be a problem?

Running bacula in single client mode for now so backup jobs consist of
backing up various parts of the host file system.
What is the normal way to handle labels? Seems bacula by default
expects to write to the same label for each different job.
I don't see anything in example *dir.conf that look

When one uses the bconsole to delete a volume like the test one
created in /tmp, should that volume disappear from the filesystem?
I see after deleting with bconsole that the test volume is still
present in /tmp.
