OK, the task is:
1) Backup some jobs to pool DISK
2) Copy these jobs from pool DISK to pool ARCHIVE
3) Migrate the same jobs from pool DISK to pool TAPE
My current problem is that I think pool DISK would need two different
"next pool" entries, one for ARCHIVE and one for TAPE, and I don;t
know how to switch these on a per-job base.

Indeed - trying to use "next pool" in the Job description I get a
Config error: Keyword "NextPool" not permitted in this resource.
Ditto for the "run" command; using a "NextPool=..." on the command
line, I get an error
Invalid keyword: NextPool
However, Section "11.7 Virtual Backup (Vbackup)" in the manual says
"...writes it to the Next Pool specified in the Job resource" but this
appears to be misleading.
But if "next pool" can really be used only within a pool definition,
then it is never possible to copy (or copy & migrate) from one pool to
two or more other pools.
Or am I missing something? Is there any deeper technical reason for
such a limitation [except that nobody needed this before, so it was
just never anticipated] ?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
