Joseph
Thanks for looking over file. I will spend more time reading the manual as
you suggested. The configuration file was taken from the manual and for some
reason the pools that the manual defines (eg. Full-Pool, Inc-Pool and
Diff-Pool) are being used for the first job called JotBackupJob. You had
mentioned in your last email that it seemed they would not be used. When I
look at a listing of the disk where the backups are written to I can see the
following:
Jot.bsr
BackupCatalog.bsr
Default-0002
Full-0001
Inc-0003
It's not been running for more than a week so it's not written to the Diff-
pool yet but the Full- and Inc- pools are filling up with volumes.
Through the bconsole I can see that the catalog backups are being written to
the Default pool while the Full and Inc backups are being written to the
Full-**** and Inc-**** pools. For example, each time a new incremental
backup is made, the labeling of Inc-000* is incremented by 1.
So it seems the bacula-dir.conf file is doing what it is supposed to do. Of
course I may be misinterpreting everything but it does seem to be
functioning as I need it to.
Thanks again for your help.
Andy.

Default Pool is a name of a pool, misleading I suppose...
You have jobs that use it:
Job {
...
Pool = Default
...
}
Ironically, you don't even have any jobs that reference the pools you did
create.
Probably by chance, you defined "Storage" in your job, as the "Default Pool"
you
added lacks the definition where your manually created pools contain it.
Reading the
docs, you will see which overrides which. You're also not using the pools
you created
which I assume you mean to? Check your job defs...
Take a breath, read the docs, it's actually very light reading but given the
severity
of you getting it wrong, you stand to lose lots. After all, backing up
incorrectly
kind of defeats the purpose, yeah:)
That config is a smidge messy and its clear you don't yet know enough about
the
directives for you to think you have a reliable setup. Go do some reading:)
