Well, but your setup doesn't consider upgraded jobs. Imagine you add a
client today. The "Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Daily SpoolData=Yes
mon-tue thu-sat at 2:10" line will match and initiate a backup with
spooling. This backup will then be upgraded to a Full one (and might
even go to the "Daily" pool.
