The safest way to do this is make a pool for each day. MondayPool TuesdayPool ... And then only put the Monday tape in the MondayPool and then have your schedule backup jobs on Monday to the MondayPool ... A hack to force Bacula to use the Friday tape today is to update volume on the Thursday Tape and mark it Full or Used Then purge the Friday tape.
