If you are using scheduled jobs then you can also vary the pool in the
Schedule directive to match the pool used for the main backups, e.g.
# Use this schedule for the catalog backup.
Schedule {
Name = "FullAlwaysCycle"
Run = Level=Full Pool=MonthlyPool FullPool=MonthlyPool 1st sun at 2:05
Run = Level=Full Pool=WeeklyPool FullPool=WeeklyPool 2nd-5th sun at 2:05
Run = Level=Full Pool=DailyPool FullPool=DailyPool tue-fri at 2:05
}
# Use this schedule for the main backups.
Schedule {
Name = "FullFullDiffCycle"
Run = Level=Full Pool=MonthlyPool FullPool=MonthlyPool 1st sun at 2:05
Run = Level=Full Pool=WeeklyPool FullPool=WeeklyPool 2nd-5th sun at 2:05
Run = Level=Differential Pool=DailyPool mon-sat at 2:05
}
This will not automatically switch according to the last type of backup
though.
