Hi,
Separating Pools may be beneficial especially with week media management
capability within networker ( Full cycle of Tape from onsite to offsite
and back). I realize that with Nifty scripting all of this could be
unnecessary, however, not everyone is familiar with scripting to a degree
to achieve this and the maintenance of them.
It may help to identify & remedy failed cloning, retention of media and
recycle process, i would recommend avoiding too many pools , create only
those are absolutely needed to avoid wasting media and complicating
configurations.

Re: Separate Pools for Incrementals?
If you ever decide to have different retention times for full and
incremental backups you would separate them so you wouldn't waste tape
space, but if you don't plan on doing that you should be good with your
current config.

Just off the top of my head, the only reason to separate full and
incremental backups into separate pools is if you wanted to send just
the
full backup tapes off-site, but leave the incremental backups on-site.
Based
on what you wrote, I get the feeling you are not interested in doing
that.
