We use one pool for any of our backups (ca. 150 jobs per Day). I can't
see any advantage of using one pool per client, but it is possible.
We only have fife pools: Archive, Disk, Tape, VM-Images and Scratch.
Thats easy to handle and really enough.
One thing i can see is, that one pool per client will reserve one drive
per backup-job, but this could also be a disadvantage - it is not
possible to run many jobs at the same time.
