like this:
*list pools
+--------+---------+---------+---------+----------+-------------+
| poolid | name | numvols | maxvols | pooltype | labelformat |
+--------+---------+---------+---------+----------+-------------+
| 1 | Default | 0 | 0 | Backup | * |
| 2 | Scratch | 10 | 0 | Backup | * |
| 3 | Full | 0 | 0 | Backup | * |
+--------+---------+---------+---------+----------+-------------+
and the job:
Run Backup job
JobName: Client1
Level: Full
Client: molbio-fd
FileSet: Full Set
Pool: Full (From Job resource)
Storage: LTO4 (From Job resource)
When: 2007-11-29 11:17:32

Job=Client1.2007-11-29_11.18.03
29-Nov 11:18 molbio-dir JobId 9: Using Device "LTO4"
