Hmm.. I guess I haven't submitted my feature requests yet ;)

- "Relabel (disk) volume on re-use", or whatever would be the appropriate 
name.. 

  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
  Use Volume Once = Yes
  Recycle = Yes
  Volume Retention = 14 days
  Label Format = 
"${Client}-${Level}-${NumVols:p/4/0/r}-${Year}_${Month}_${Day}-${Hour}_${Minute}"
  Relabel On Re-use = Yes

  With configuration like this it would be really easy to check/monitor the 
disk volumes also from the shell, 
  you'd instantly see with basic tools like ls, du, what's taking disk space 
etc..

  At the moment disk volume gets the name when it's first used, and it won't be
  changed when the volume is re-used.. so the name is incorrect after recycling 
  and re-using the volume..

  I guess this feature is mostly useful with disk volumes.
