Or you can define multiple scratch pools in bacula-dir. For example, 
pool Week could use volumes from the default Scratch pool and pool Day 
could use volumes from an additional scratch pool named Day_Scratch. :

pool {
   Name = "Scratch"
   Pool Type = Backup
   Recycle = yes
   RecyclePool = Scratch
}

pool {
   Name = "Day_Scratch"
   Pool Type = Backup
   Recycle = yes
   RecyclePool = Day_Scratch
}

pool {
   Name = "Week"
   Pool Type = Backup
   Recycle = yes
   AutoPrune = yes
   ScratchPool = Scratch
   ...
}

pool {
   Name = "Day"
   Pool Type = Backup
   Recycle = yes
   AutoPrune = yes
   ScratchPool = "Day_Scratch"
   ...
}
