Your understanding is correct. A pool is a collection of volumes. Some
go with only one pool (well besides scratch), while others have Full,
Incremental and Differential pools. Others have 1 pool per client. I
have over 10 pools basically each pool is for a specific purpose. I
pool is UserBackups which is only the public and private shares. A
second pool is SystemBackupsLTO2 which backups the servers. A third
pool is UserBackupsLTO2 wich is only the user systems. And then there
are 7 or more pools for archive data and finally I have an Other pool
which backups the catalog and the nightly cvs backup to disk.
