Sorry I wasn't clearer -- why I'd want multiple pools is fairly

understand.
Well, one possible reason would be to keep your catalog(s) to a
manageable size. There are other threads on the list right now
discussing the problem of running out of memory trying to restore large
file sets (millions of files). In one case the poster reported that it
took over an hour for Bacula just to pull the LIST of files out of the
database. If your installation is large enough, you can end up with a
catalog that is unwieldy, if not outright unmanageable. Splitting the
data up into multiple catalogs is one way to address this problem.
