Make the only tape available for writing be the tape needed. Do this
by adjusting retention times to 6 days and mark the tape used after
around 18 hours or so.

Something like:
Volume Use Duration = 18 h
Volume Retention = 6d

I would modify the pool then use the update volume command in bconsole
to mark all volumes Archive. And then for the first week every day
purge only the needed tape. After that bacula should automatically do
the correct thing.
