Yes, I used one Volume per pool as stated in the sample of the pdf documentation.
Oh, maybe Max Wait Time will be helpful. I'll try.
About Volume Use Duration...reading the documentation I understand that its use is for
telling bacula how long the tape can be used, then consider it dead. Isn't it?

So, do I undertand correctly that you have a pool MON, a pool TUE, and
so on?

Because the job was started in time. You want Max Wait Time. And it asks
because it needs a volume from the given pool, not from another pool.
The usual setup is to use one pool and put all your daily tapes into it.

The Volume Use Duration setting is better for what you want.
