But if you want so, you have to put monday tape (e. g.) on a specific pool (e.g: monday-pool, tuesday-pool, etc.). Its adivisible to set a "Volume Use Duration", anyway, so volume can become used and retention starts to count. > 2- When a job fails for whatever reason or the client is unavailable I want > Bacula to skip that job and move to the next one instead of waiting for the > job to complete/fail etc. I have a number of jobs, only one works.

You can create a redundant full backup on a separate pool (or use the Bacula copy job), and just take these specific tapes off-site.
