The old Schedule-based overrides are still *supported* in 3.0.3, for
backward compatibility, but are deprecated - precisely because of the
problem you note - in favor of the following example syntax:


Schedule {
  Name = "Monthly Rotation"
  Run = Full 1st mon at 03:30
  Run = Differential 2nd-5th mon at 03:30
  Run = Incremental tue-sun at 03:30
}

JobDefs {
  Name = Backup
  Type = Backup
  Level = Full
  Pool = Full-Tape
  Full Backup Pool = Full-Tape
  Differential Backup Pool = Diff-Disk
  Incremental Backup Pool = Incr-Disk
  Schedule = "Monthly Rotation"
  [...]
}


The change was made because, basically, it proved extremely difficult to
avoid the pool mismatch problem using the schedule-based override code.
 Putting pool overrides in the job definition allows the job to select
its own pool, which means that in case of level promotion, it
automatically just Does The Right Thing.
