Since backups are stored in byte sequence in general there is no practical advantage on have different retention for jobs within the same volume, since it would require a huge computational effort to claim the space from a single recycled volume. I don't think you need to create one pool per different network uplink, but each storage device should have at least one pool for sure. Usually I have daily pool (aprox. 7 days); weekly (aprox. 30 days); monthly (aprox. 1 year retention); and I try to fit the backup retention needs in one of those levels (GFS). Eg.: if I need to retain a specific data for 2 weeks, I would schedule this job to run on daily and weekly basis.
