We use groups to segregate our backup types, fulls in one set, differentials in 
a separate complimentary set.  The schedules associated with the clients in 
each set (same client exists in both groups) line up.  We do this so that we 
can separate the backup data into different media pools, the fulls go into one 
pool, the diffs go into a different one.  That way, the savesets on the various 
media all expire at the same time more or less.
