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

Clients: mekarchive01
Save sets: <EMPTY>
Levels: full
Target Device
Devices: \\.Tape0
CONFIGURATION TAB
Data management
Max parallelism: 0
auto media verify: 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?
