The see the directive "Accept Any Volume" in the pool definition
chapter in the manual.

It should do what you want, if you've got the retention times correct.
OK, I need some more setting straight... I'm still missing a concept
here, I think.
It looks like this should have been on by default in 1.36.3 from this
description:
Accept Any Volume = <yes|no>
This directive specifies whether or not any volume
from the Pool may be used for backup. The default
is yes as of version 1.27 and later.
Anyhow, I turned it on explicitly for my Pool, and I get something like
the following I'm not sure what the error it's complaining about on
tape A4 is (that's new on this run), but I'm confused why it didn't use
tapes A1, A6, or A7 (if I understood that I'd have a better handle on
the problem):
