Ahh... I see now that you meant in the admin GUI. This is already done and what 
I meant with:

"The client is part of the group that is added to the pool. And the media is 
assigned to the pool. But still it just sends it to "default""

So the Group have access to the pool. But still it refuses to backup to 
anything else then "default".  And from what I can see the config of my group 
is no different then the default so can't understand why it doesn't work. I 
have read about others that haven't been able to backup to anything else then 
"default" but never read about a solution for it.

Regarding this, just to clarify what I meant earlier. If I use this I can't 
"backup specific", right? From the GUI I can "backup specific". But maybe this 
ain't possible from the command line and that I'm walking in the territory of 
"archiving" here?

Oh. This for sure sounds like something I must have missed in the manual. Will 
uncheck my group from it and give it another go. But on the other hand, if I 
uncheck the group. How does the GUI client choose to what pool to backup? Feels 
like it can end up anywhere? Hmm...

My group is confed like:

BASIC TAB
Identity
   Name: ODHeinrich

Configuration 
   Enabeled: Check
   Pooltype: Backup
   Label template OD Archive

Data Source
   Groups: Henrik_OD

SELECTION CRITERIA TAB
Data Source
   Clients: mekarchive01
   Save sets: <EMPTY>
   Levels: full

Target Device
   Devices: \\.Tape0

CONFIGURATION TAB
Data management
   Max parallelism: 0
   auto media verify: check

Configuration 
   Store index entries: check

The database of all files that have been backuped/archived. Would be sweet if 
it was easily browsable and searchable. Something that most of the 
backup/archive aps I tested so far, for some reason, don't have. 

Must add another question. Is it possible to restore specific files in a save 
set? Or is a complete "save set" the only thing that can be restored?
