Hi,

I'm looking into limiting the usage of volumes by time, a guide[1] in the 
manual suggests using 'Max Use Duration'(I assumed that the author means 
'Volume Use Duration'). 
I want to achieve that the daily incremental backup of all clients is stored in 
a single volume kept for 10 days, thus being able to restore on a daily basis 
for at least 10 days with the following pool:

Pool {
    Name                    = Inc-Pool
    AutoPrune               = yes
    Label Format            = Daily-
    Maximum Volumes         = 10
    Maximum Volume Bytes    = 20GB
    PoolType                = Backup
    Recycle                 = yes
    VolumeRetention         = 10 days
    Volume Use Duration     = 23h
}

But the manual states that 'The use duration is checked and the Used status is 
set only at the end of a job that writes to the particular volume'. So in 
practice with my current pool definition, does that mean that at least one job 
each day is stored in the 'wrong' volume that I actually dont want to use 
anymore?
If my understanding is correct, is there any other way to achieve my goal?

Thanks, 
Simon
