As it seems that this is not possible, at least with Selection Type =
PoolUncopiedJobs, I took another (and simple) approach:
I defined exactly one "tape-pool" and set the retention periods manually
per volume. This way, I have a few weekly tapes with a short retention
period and a few monthly tapes with a longer retention period, all in
one pool. This kind of reduces the usefullness of pools but I have found
no other solution.
Let's hope this works as expected (Bacula using the right tapes on the
right time), any objections? ;-)
