Hello,

Bacula seems to track files and backup times per-catalog. Let's say I  
have two pools of volumes and I want to take one offsite every other  
week. When the other volumes from the other pool are put into the tape  
drive it won't backup all the differences from the last time that pool  
was backed up. E.g.

Pool1: P1Vol1, P1Vol2
Pool2: P2Vol1, P2Vol2

Let's say Pool1 backs up up one week, then Pool2 backs up the next  
week. When Pool1 volumes are backed up next they will only backup the  
differences  from the last time the Client backed up in the Catalog  
(which was P2Vol2's last backup).

Is there a way to Make P2Vol2 next run backup all files that have  
changed since P2Vol2's last (incremental) backup rather than the  
Client's last backup?

Alternatively is there a way to change the Catalog that a Job uses in  
the Schedule? This I think would accomplish the same goals as the  
tracking done to tell last backup is done Per-catalog/client and not  
Per-pool/client.

Thanks,
- Jesse
