Ather way could be adding a run-after-job option to actul backups. This 
obviously expands to volume name:
%v = Volume name (Only on director side)
(I don't know what happens when the volume fills up during a job... will %v 
be the last or the first or whichever volume?)

Maybe writing it to a file, and then admin job should close the volume the 
name of which is in the file? Or even append the volume names to a file, and 
then make sure that all volumes from that file are closed.

ps. The other question there... how to know the last day: run the admin job 
1st day of the next month, at 00:01, for example.


I would still vote for using different pools for consecutive months. I think 
it would be more straight-forward, or Bacula-like. But it's up to you to 
decide...
