Actually, that's correct, I have one Pool for Full Backups (using storage TPA) and another Pool for Diff Backups (using storage TPB).

That's not a correct configuration? Because I have a specific necessity of Volume Retention and Volume Duration for each one of the Diffential and Full backups...

BTW, i'm using Bacula 5.0.3...

Sounds to me like you need your TPA and TPB volumes to be in different
Pools assigned to different storage devices.
