I don't see the need for this feature.  With the current code, there is no
harm if the tape is marked used while a job is running, so please explain
why this feature is needed.

> What:  An 'Volume Append Duration' pool directive.  This directive would
> set a window of time after the last write to a tape, after which the
> tape is marked used.  This would be a complement to the Volume Use
> Duration directive.
>
> Why:  Sometimes when a job pauses for whatever reason, the backup run is
> interrupted long enough for the Volume Use Duration to be exceeded and
> the currently loaded tape is mark used before the entire backup run is
> complete.  With the Volume Append Duration, I can set the tape to be
> marked used after x hours of no use.  This would give more flexibility
> in determining when a tape gets marked used.
>
> Notes:  Volume Append Duration or Volume Use Duration may be used, OR
> both may be used in a pool definition.  If both are used then then they
> are ANDED together, in that they both must be true for the tape to be
> marked used.
