Hello,
In my configuration, I have (paraphrasing it for simplicity):

ScratchPoolA
        Type=Scratch

FullPoolA
        Type=Backup
        RecyclePool=ScratchPoolA
        ScratchPool=ScratchPoolA
        
IncrPoolA
        Type=Backup
        RecyclePool=ScratchPoolA
        ScratchPool=ScratchPoolA
        NextPool = FullPool

Job
        Full Backup Pool = FullPoolA
        Incremental Backup Pool = IncrPoolA

All my Virtuals then end up in FullPoolA.
There are no separate pools for Virtuals.
