[Bacula-users] Bacula doesnt recycle and/or hangs

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

I'm running Bacula 2.03 on a Fedora 5 x86 system. For test purposes I only have one client configured and the /etc directory being backed up to a SATA hard drive in the system. I have set the backups to run every 10min and I set max volumes to 24, so that should be 6 hours of backup and then it should start recycling the volumes as I understand it. 

Seems it ran from 1pm - 6pm every hour making a full backup to a diffrent file(like I want) and 4 incrementals between the hour. Everything ran fine and then just stopped after 6:15pm and hung on the 6.35 inc- job for 17hours while it queued up more jobs. By this point it had made 14 Full backups.

The SQL database is on a mount with 56GB still free and the backup target(onsite) still has 300GB free and /var still has 600mb free(NOTE:Database is not on /var). I cancelled that job now and the next one in the queue is still hanging. I cant see anything wrong with my config, whats going on here? Is there a better way to have my config? I need to have it autoname the Full and Incremental backups for multiple systems.

     Email with errors follows and I have pasted my bacula-dir.conf file as well.

Thanks for any assistance.
