So when I want to restore a full backup, the latest monthly backup is taken,
in addition to the latest daily backup and the current backup-of-the-hour.
What I explicitly do NOT want is full backups in every pool. That is, only
want full backups in monthly, incrementals in daily and differential in
hourlies.
You then need to create only 1 job per client and use just scheduling
to accomplish the schedule. I believe with the flexibility of the
scheduling all of this is possible.
I should add there is 1 job and 1 schedule. In that schedule resource
you define the times and pool for fulls, differentials and
incrementals.

Thank you very much for your reply and help. With your guidance I came
up with this:

Note: I excluded configuration sections that are irrelevant to this case
as well as I generalized one client "for all" by marking the name xxx
(to be substituted with client name(s)).
One issue I am having is this: I removed the job retention and file
retention periods from client () configuration. Will it suffice I the
Pools get overwritten (recycled)?
Again,
Thank you for your support - greatly appreciated.
