Backup Central

Hi everyone
i'm making backups of windows xp fd's and i'm creating a volume every day for every client by an script which runs before every Job, the name of the file has the date in it.
Obviously when the fd is off and the director tries to run the backup the client doesn't answer, the backup is not made. It leaves a volume created and with status Appendable which is used next day.
For example the volume called dis20100706 (20100706 is the date) it will contain a backup made in July 07 2010. This happens every day the client is off.
How can avoid the backups store in volumes created behind, mark volume as error for example if the backup doesn't run correctly.

Thanks in advance i hope somebody can help me
have a nice day

cron job nightly that finds the empty volumes and deletes them.

I guess you can just do that in your script that creates a new volume each day.
