OK, the task is: 1) Backup some jobs to pool DISK 2) Copy these jobs from pool DISK to pool ARCHIVE 3) Migrate the same jobs from pool DISK to pool TAPE My current problem is that I think pool DISK would need two different "next pool" entries, one for ARCHIVE and one for TAPE, and I don;t know how to switch these on a per-job base.

Ditto for the "run" command; using a "NextPool=..." on the command line, I get an error Invalid keyword: NextPool However, Section "11.7 Virtual Backup (Vbackup)" in the manual says "...writes it to the Next Pool specified in the Job resource" but this appears to be misleading. But if "next pool" can really be used only within a pool definition, then it is never possible to copy (or copy & migrate) from one pool to two or more other pools. Or am I missing something? Is there any deeper technical reason for such a limitation [except that nobody needed this before, so it was just never anticipated] ?
