Dear all,

I'm currently completely redefining my Bacula setup and plan now to use Virtual 
Full backups
for some of my bigger servers.

I've now defined the necessary two pools but am unsure now if it is a good 
practice to
create a "loop" in these pools:

Pool {
  Name = Pool1
  ....
  Next Pool = Pool2
}

Pool {
  Name = Pool2
  ...
  Next Pool = Pool1
}

I googled a lot and found some concerns that these configuration can cause a 
deadlock, is that right?
But at other places I found this setup recommended...
So I'm now completely unsure how to proceed.

If not using that loop I found that the Virtual Full backups alternate between 
the two pools but the
differential and incremental are always done to the first pool.  What I would 
like is that all diff and incr
backups are done to that pool that has the most recent full backup and I think 
that will be possible
by defining the loop above, right?

So.... how do you configure your Virtual Full?  What is the best practice for 
it?
And... how likely is it that a deadlock can/will occur?

Thanks a lot!!
Christian
