Hello @BillyBoo
Unfortunately it is not possible to automatic this behavior. You can have different drive pools which use separate scratch pools, but you cannot force a specific backup to use a specific tape base on a specific day of the week. You could potentially load the desired media manually but we still may get some cross-over due to indexing.
