Or you could go the calendar-independent route and set an appropriate
volume use window. If you set the volume use window to be just less
than a week, expiring late Sunday night or early Monday morning, it will
force Bacula to rotate to the next volume weekly.

I've implemented a mixed solution, volume use window and time, something like that:

Schedule {
Name = "Pool-A"
Run = Storage=Pool-A Pool=Pool-A Level=Differential w00,w01, w05, w09, w13, w17, w21, w25, w29, w33, w37, w41, w45, w49, w53 fri-sun at 23:00
Run = Storage=Pool-A Pool=Pool-A Level=Differential w02, w06, w10, w14, w18, w22, w26, w30, w34, w38, w42, w46, w50 mon-thu at 23:00

}

HTH and thanks!
