Backup Central

I backup to permanently attached USB disk (3 weeks retention of weekly full + 3x daily differentials) then to offsite USB disk (virtual full), and one of the permanently attached disks has just failed. Is there a shortcut to tell Bacula to purge all volumes on that disk (they aren't coming back), prompting it to just do a full backup next time the jobs run?

My fallback is to just create a shell script based on a query result but maybe there's another trick someone knows?

Thanks

James

You said that the physical volume is dead, so the bacula media files
cannot be recovered, so i think you have to simply delete all the
bacula volumes that were on this device and then recreate new ones
