Re: [Bacula-users] weekly backup on 2 external hard disks

I don't think that will do what you want. The reason for 4 pools is to 
keep the incrementals on drive 1 relative to the fulls on drive 1, and 
the incrementals on drive 2 relative to the fulls on drive 2. If you 
have only 2 pools, then the incrementals will be relative to the last 
full backup, regardless of which drive the last full backup was written 
to. Similarly, the reason for 2 jobs for each client is because one job 
writes only to disk 1 and the other only to disk 2. That way a restore 
will only require 1 drive.

I have created:

2 jobs

odd weeks

even weeks

2 pools

odd weeks - HDD 1
even weeks - HDD 2

2 schedules

odd weeks
even weeks

in the schedules I'm specifieing which pool to use.

All the rules are quiete strict, so even after reading your email I think this should work correctly, i.e.:
The increments collected on odd weeks will always go only to the odd pool HDD1 and (because of the 2 different jobs) should relate correctly to the odd full backup. (similiarly with the even ones)

Am I right?
