I am confused as to what 45 volumes in each pool will look like, you say 
my config is fine, my Pool looks like this, I have no idea what the
syntax for 45 volumes will be, you say ServerName2-1, ServerName2-2, 
etc... but what variable and where does it go?

Pool {
    Name = PoolName2
    Use Volume Once = yes
    Pool Type = Backup
    LabelFormat = "ServerName2-"
    AutoPrune = yes
    Volume Retention = 45d
    Maximum Volumes = 45
    Recycle = yes
}
