Kyle, For a setup such as you want to accomplish, it might be easier to implement Volume Use Duration rather than creating a pool for each client. That way you can tell Bacula that you want to use a volume for a maximum of 23 hours. Bacula will then create a new volume every day regardless of how many jobs you back up in a single volume.
