Yes.

I'm in the same situation--there's a pool defined for incremental backups, and 
a pool for full backups (and a "scratch" pool).

I understand why a backup would be promoted from an incremental to a full, if 
no prior "full" exists, but I firmly belive that the backup should then use the 
"full" pool...

I was afraid that was the answer.

This is particularly a problem when backing up some clients takes 2~3 days. 
It's really bad to have an incremental promoted to a "full" backup, and then 
the scheduled full backup runs simultaneously...this kills the performance of 
both the backup server and client.

Thanks,

Mark
