When I use the run command to start a job:

- Level is Incremental. I think this does get upgraded automatically if 
there is no Full.
- Client is correct (since it is directly tied to the job)
- File set is correct (since it is directly tied to the job)
- Pool is default for the job (even though I have a Full Backup Pool, 
Differential Backup Pool and Incremental Backup Pool specified).
- Storage comes from the Job resource. I override it in the Schedule.

The two biggest items for me are the Pool and the Storage.

Yes - except that it doesn't seem to work for manually-run jobs. It 
always uses the Pool specified with Pool = And that's hardly surprising 
because at the time bconsole asks for the information, it does not yet 
know if the job will be upgraded.

This problem is compounded when you use the schedule rather than the job 
to override the pool, for instance to switch hard disks.
