Hi, Why do you need to store full and incremental/differential backups in the same pool? You can do it with two or more pools - one for full backup and the rest for incremental/differential backups. (eg. by using "Full Backup Pool", "Differential Backup Pool" ,"Incremental Backup Pool" Job resource directives).
The second question - why would you use the only one full backup?
