Even using 2 pools will result in the name of the volume not being
consistent over time. The Volume would still be created on the first run
and used on the second run if your client is turned off on the first run
and the Time / Date in the Volume name will have nothing to do with the
actual data on it.

Once the first Volume gets recycled its all over.

I tried using this approach as well when i started with bacula, but gave
up on it. As the docs say, stop trying to fight it and try thinking the
way the scheduler currently does.

I guess you are trying to take the disk volumes to tape eventually,
based on their filename. If that is so, check out copy / migration jobs,
which might do what you are trying to force via filenames.
