Just make sure all pools are more specific than the scratch pool. For example, 
on the scratch pool turn off all the save groups. Then on all the other pools, 
turn on the save groups. When the backups happen they will go to the more 
specific pools.

In the past, all retention periods were done at the client level, not the pool 
level. That isn't intuitive nor does it work great with a  rotation by pools. 
However with newer versions, retention can be specified at the pool level. The 
documentation is pretty good. Take a look at the admin guide and the disaster 
recovery guide.

That assumes that I have only one other pool, correct?  I have an incremental 
pool for servers, full for servers, incremental for workstations, and another 
full for workstations.  I am just starting the configuring on this system.

I want to have a longer retention policy on the full backups.  How do I 
configure the retention policy on the incrementals to differ from the full, or 
vice versa?  I assume that I would set the retention policy on the client 
resource and then change the retention policy on the media pool?
