Just a comment here. Since you have "volume use duration = 7 days" and your
volume was used until 12:58 next day, I'm quite sure (don't know how is
your schedule configured) that this volume will be available (append) for
use in the next week by your backup jobs. Because of your "volume use
duration" configuration, Bacula started to use the same volume two weeks
sequentially.

Do you have prefer mounted volume set to yes?
