Actually, a client-initiated backup will not necessarily go to the Default pool. It will definitely go to the Default pool only if all other enabled backup pools have a value specified in their "group" attribute. However, if a pool is configured without any value for its "group" attribute, a client-initiated backup MAY be written to it. For example, if a pool is configured with a value only in its "client" attribute, any backup of the client, whether server-initiated or client-initiated, will go to that pool (assuming there is not another pool that specified both the client and the group). The only reason I bring this up is because a high percentage of folks that attend my classes believe that all client-initiated backups go to the Default pool.
