[Bacula-users] Setting start time of Volume Use Duration

[David J. <da...@pi...>]

I have my tapes setup to be used for a 23 hour period, then I change to 
a new one. The previous tapes are put in a secure storage area.

Occasionally I've had backups to tape stall for various reasons, and I 
have to use a new tape. If I place a new tape in at 9am when I arrive at 
work, the tape expires at 8am the next day, meaning I've put two days of 
backups on the one tape. That itself I don't have a problem with, but 
then the 23 hour window gets shifted because I may forget to put in the 
next days tape.

Idealy, I'd like the tape window to be specified as certain times to 
enforce one tape per set of backups. Without actually creating tapes for 
a specific weekday, is this possible?
