I figured Mike Lisell's response would be the answer but wanted to doubly 
confirm that the pool is the spinal cord of BackupPC and missing with it is not 
cool.  I am not really worried about any further configuration.  The only thing 
I will do beyond this is to clone the external harddrive on a monthly basis.  
Here is the breakdown currently of my backup regiment.

1) The Server is built on 2 drives in a mirror config
2) The data via BackupPC configured on an external harddrive
3) The server is cloned every 6 months
3) The data on the server is also rsync'd to another internal server, Server A
4) Server A has a 2 drive mirror config
5) Server A also uses 2 external drives that are interchanged weekly
6) Now I will also clone the external drive at (2) since there is no good 
reason to break the pool as suggested so I will just keep one external 
harddrive connected to that system permanently. 

*I think the redundancy here is good but if anybody has any suggestions please 
opine.

Thanks...  :D
