I've been searching the archive and it looks like I'm not the only one confused by pool behavior. I apologize if this is redundant but I can't seem to find an authoritative answer.

My goal is simple: put all Full backups in the Full pool, put all Differentials in the Differential pool and put all Incrementals in the Incremental pool. If a backup gets upgrade to Full, it should go in the Full pool.

Part of my confusion is that I'm expecting `status dir` to list the pool the backup will go in. So far, I've never successfully gotten the scheduled jobs to appear as if they are going to go to the pool I've requested.

First I tried this:

Schedule {
  Name = "CWAnnualCycle1"
  Run = Level=Full Pool=Full on jan 1 at 1:05
  Run = Level=Full Pool=Full on jul 1 at 1:05a
  Run = Level=Differential Pool=Diff monthly on 1 at 1:05
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Inc daily at 1:05
}

But when the job ran it went to Pool=Default, the last thing I would have expected.

Then I tried this:

JobDefs {
  Name = "CWJob"
  Type = Backup
  Level = Incremental
  Client = neutron-fd
  FileSet = "www"
  Storage = File
  Messages = Standard
  Pool = Full
  Full Backup Pool = Full
  Incremental Backup Pool = Inc
  Differential Backup Pool = Diff
  Priority = 10
}


...but all my scheduled jobs list volumes from Pool=Default again!


I'm sure I'm just being stupid and I apologize for what is probably a recurring question.

Thanks,
Michael

PS - I think bacula has tremendous potential. We are looking forward to deploying it in production if we can get it doing what we think we are telling it to do.
