Hm, here it is. Every day there is a different pool (monday, tuesday, ...). Bacula chooses the right pool because of the JobDefs. In those pools there are 2 tapes, one didn't reach it's retention period yet, so that one can't be selected- so there is only 1 tape left that can be selected. So it's 100% sure which tape should be taken. Anyway, it's not a big problem ofcourse. I've already found another way to 'fix' things -- not yet done, but I think this will work. I take a (very small) incremental backup during the afternoon, so the correct tape gets recycled. The tape is not there yet, so the data gets spooled. In the afternoon I can change the tape, the data gets written and the tape is ready for the nightly backup.
