Just run another non-synthetic full backup if all you want is a full....

Subject	[Veritas-bu] Question about synthetic backups

When I attempt a synthetic backup and the most recent backup of the client is a full backup nothing happens. Nothing happens because Netbackup says there was no incremental backup to analyze. My question is: So What? I want another full backup, to a completely different volume pool, shouldn't Netbackup realize that the volume pool is different and run the synthetic backup again? Hopefully someone can tell me what I am doing wrong here.
