Don't configure your jobs to USE the scratch pool. That's the root of the

Instead, set your job's pool to be something else OTHER than "Scratch", let's

the pool to the director and reload the config before you r

There are ways in which saying "Sorry, I made a mistake." takes more grace and
nobility than not making the mistake in the first place. Kudos.
Thanks for that.
Now, what did you need help with? (Might do well to start a new thread with a
tailored subject line.)

ram you mention I might agree with you that Crapula is
terrible software. Unfortunately that is OT for a +Bacula+ mailing list.
If you want help with Bacula, great. I for one will try to help. If you do
not and only wanted to vent your spleen, good luck with Arkeia and T

I wish Zmanda and the Amanda project best of luck, but I don't appreciate them
spreading inaccurate information.

It would look something like:

Pool2: 1st Friday
Note: No month is going to have more than 5 Fridays, but many have just four.
So in months with only 4 Fridays the "5th Friday backup" is jus

Oh yeah! Good point! I'd forgotten that I'd split my Jobs, schedules, pools
and stuff into separate files for each category and included them with
