Use Any Volume = yes
That should be all you need. Provided you haven't set a media use
duration or per-tape job limit, Bacula will -- by default -- continue to
append jobs to a tape until it is full. The directive above tells it to
use any appendable volume that happens to be mounted instead of strictly
waiting for the one it thinks should be used next.
Note, however, that this will NOT cause Bacula to recycle and re-use a
tape it has just filled.
