In normal operation bacula will unload the volume from the Daily Pool and load the volume from the Weekend Pool if an appendable tape from the Weekend Pool exists and is in the changer. If there are no appendable tapes it should unload the tape from the Daily Pool then try to Purge tapes from the weekly pool based on the retention policy that you have configured. If it can purge a tape it will use it. If it still can not find a tape it will prompt you.
