Thanks it's a good idea but imagine this case :
- Incremental backup run Saturday night to Thursday night.
- Full backup run Friday night.
- A person who doesn’t know bacula, changes manually the tape on Friday.

If I put this option in Pool resource :
- Volume Use Duration = 7 days

Imagine my company close exceptionally Friday. It's impossible for the person 
to change the tape. Also we have not a Full Backup of the week because tape is 
in status "Used". Consequently the person change tape on Monday the "Volume Use 
Duration" move and after it's impossible to change tape on Friday. 

Do you understand my problem ?

Maybe if an option exists to unused the volume (by bconsole) I can create a 
crontab ? Or unused the volume after all jobs ?

Thank you very much.

Innop.
