Ok, so I missed this point in the documentation. So I read it.
I don't understand everything (due to my poor english or subtilities I
don't see).

What I have :

Pool {
  Name = Default
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 14 days
  Maximum Volumes = 2
}

My volumes :
|       4 | P21        | Append    |       1 | 239,080,660,514 | ...
|       5 | P220001    | Append    |       1 |               0 | ...


What I want to reconfigure (is it in the Pool section ?) :
  Volume Use Duration = 7 days
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 250G

Is this make a 2 weeks rotation ? (P21 for a week, P220001 for the second
week)

Thank you for any help
