Yes, you can label the second tape monday-2 or similar

Once you label the tapes, they retain that label "forever" in baculas view.

Bacula is different from other backup programs. It keeps track of the 
tapes and their contents (until record expiry dates are met) and runs 
things from the tape it decideds it wants (oldest expired).

If you are accustomed to a GFS backup system, then you need to set up a 
seperate pool for each level. If you are one of those places that 
backups up stuff on monday to a specific set of tapes on monday, then 
you need a pool of tapes for such an activity.(you also need to carefuly 
set expiry dates so those tapes are available when next needed (say five 
days for a week or 12 days for a fortnight).

If you want to post to the list an outline of your backup policy, then 
I'm sure people will give you some guidance/suggestions.
