Hello,That volume is set to a 1 year volume use duration not one day.
Possibly you updated the pool but forgot to update existing volumes with the
new resource.Best regards,KernSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Bacula 9.6.x: "volume use duration" not working as
expected Hi folks,I have a set of tapes that I'd like to use in a daily
rotation to backup online disk volumes to tape.I defined a pool for this like
so:Pool { Name = offline_weekly Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes AutoPrune
= yes Volume Retention = 1 year Recycle Oldest Volume = yes Purge Oldest
Volume = yes Maximum Volumes = 7 Volume Use Duration = 1 day}Also, I've
labelled 7 LTO6 tapes and assigned them to the pool.The backup works fine, but
all the jobs end up on the first tape(probably until it fills up). I would
expect that the "volume useduration" would cause bacula (9.6.2 compiled from
source on UbuntuServer LTS 18.04) to load the next tape in the pool after 24
hours (sowhen the next offline backup job runs), then the next one and so
onuntil it reaches tape 1 again, then writing the next offline job onthat
volume and so on, until all tapes are full and then it shouldstart to recycle
the oldest volume.Here's the pool how bacula sees it at the moment (I've also
tried"update pool from resource" without any
effect):+--------+----------------+---------+---------+-------------+--------------+---------+----------+-------------+|
