Oh, maybe Max Wait Time will be helpful. I'll try.
About Volume Use Duration...reading the documentation I understand that
its use is for
telling bacula how long the tape can be used, then consider it dead.
Isn't it?
No. Which documentation did you read? In the manual I have installed
with an FD 1.37.36, it says:
Volume Use Duration = <time-period-specification>
The Volume Use Duration directive defines the time period that the
Volume can be written beginning from the time of first data write to the
Volume. If the time-period specified is zero (the default), the Volume
can be written indefinitely. Otherwise, when the time period from the
first write to the volume (the first Job written) exceeds the
time-period-specification, the Volume will be marked Used, which means
that no more Jobs can be appended to the Volume, but it may be recycled
if recycling is enabled.
which is quite clear, I think. In the release version, this might be
expressed differently, of course.

So, do I undertand correctly that you have a pool MON, a pool TUE, and
so on?

Because the job was started in time. You want Max Wait Time. And it
asks
because it needs a volume from the given pool, not from another pool.
The usual setup is to use one pool and put all your daily tapes into
it.

The Volume Use Duration setting is better for what you want.
