Here is my situation:

We currently have 8 2TB USB HDDs. We want to do an 8-week rotation  
with these drives. Each drive will be on site for backup for 1 week  
and then in offsite storage for 7 weeks.

 From my brief experience, it seems that having all backups go to one  
Pool will not work properly since the Volume bacula chooses to use/ 
recycle may not be present on the drive that is currently in on site.

The best solution I think of is to have 8 different Pools, and each  
drive is associated with one of those Pools. The problem, however, is  
that I do not see a way to dynamically select which Pool a Job will go  
to based on what week it is.

I know I can fire off 8 jobs (one for each pool) and use a "Run Before  
Job" script to cancel all but the proper Job, but there must be a  
Better Way to accomplish this.

The job.Pool attribute is read-only in the Python scripting API, so  
that does not seem to be the answer.

Any thoughts?
