So, like I said before, you just need to create more volumes for backup or
reduce your Volume Retention. Don't forget to update the already created
volumes if you reduce the retention.

Hi,
I configured bacula to perform backup on a tape for every 2 days (1 tape
for Monday & Tuesday, another tape for Wednesday & Thursday, and so on).
