Hi.
I have many Clients, few Jobs on each Client and three Pools for each
client:
Client-full
Client-incremental
Client-backup

Job for client Foo and fileset bar is generaly like that:
Job {
Name = Foo-bar
Client = Foo
Fileset = bar
Pool=Foo-backup
FullPool = Foo-Full
IncrementalPool = Foo-Incremental
Schedule = GeneralSchedule
}

GeneralSchedule does only Full and Incremental backup in some intervals
and does no Pool overriding. It is common for all Clients.

Sometimes I need some extra Full job to be run. "Run" console command
offers me to use the default Pool backup, (which I want, it was created
for this purpose), but when the Job starts, the Pool is overriden with
FullPool statement. It backups into Foo-Full Pool and breaks down my
retention times for Volumes, causing problem, when new scheduled full
job comes into turn.

I have few ideas:
1) Set Foo-Full as the default Pool for Job, remove FullPool overriding
and set up manualy the Foo-backup pool every time I run manual job.
2) Create own schedule for each Client, set up the Pool overriding in
the schedule. It shouldn't apply manualy run jobs. However the config
perplexity increases strongly
3) Use some Python scripting for Pool selecting, but I have no
experience with scripting in bacula.

I would like, if you could advice me some simple way to avoid Pool
overriding at manualy run jobs, which would have no disadvantages named
here.

Thanks
Marek
