Networkers,

We want/need to have different retention/browsing times depending on
the backup schedule. The only way we have found to do this is:

MachineA
    Group: DailyBackups
    Pool: DailyBackups
    Schedule: Incremental Daily, skip friday & weekends

MachineA
    Group: WeeklyBackups
    Pool: WeeklyBackups
    Schedule: Full on friday, skip otherwise

Having two pools makes sense since the data in one pool will expire
faster than the data in another. So don't want to mix them on the
same medias.

But already, listing the same machine twice is not really nice (but
there is not way around that is there?), but two have two groups on
top of that just complicates things.

When I try to have them in the same group I get "Save set bla would
be specified by two clients with the same name in group blabla."

Do others have requiremetn similiar to these and if so, how do you
accomplish it.

Thanks.
