Can someone explain to me the use of Use Any Volume? What I want is for bacula to use the tape with the lowest ID that is writable. I definite writable as any volume that is in a state that will allow it to be written to (including a tape that contains data but whose retention time has passed). I have 11 daily tapes, and after my full backup, I want tape #1 to be used. However, Bacula often wants tape 10 or 11 as they did not get used during the last cycle at all. If I want the drive to take tape 1, I have to disable the higher numbered tapes.

Is there a way to do what I want without scripting? It's not readily apparent.
