I think you are right. Volumes on HDD 1 will be in one pool and volumes
on HDD 2 in another. For each client, there will be a full backup in
both pools created by manually running level=full jobs. The schedules
will automatically run daily backups, odd weeks storing into volumes in
one pool and even weeks into the other pool.
Normally, I would probably use 4 pools, divided into fulls on HDD 1,
incrementals on HDD 1, fulls on HDD 2, and incrementals on HDD 2. This
would be primarily to have different retention times for the
incrementals and fulls. In your case, though, the incrementals need to
be retained as long as the fulls. I don't think with your setup you will
even make use of automatic recycling. To re-use a drive you will just
manually delete all of it's volumes and start over with new manually run
full backups. Right?
