I have 3 tape pools defined, Admin, Catalog, and Scratch.  Other than
Catalog for the catalog backups, everything else goes to the Admin pool.
The definition is below:

Pool {
  Name = Admin
  Description = "Pool for all Admin Backups"
  Pool Type = Backup
  Storage = Changer
  Recycle = yes                 # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  RecyclePool = Scratch         # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes               # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 30 days    # one month
  Cleaning Prefix = "CLN"
}

I have all of my jobs using the same JobDefs resource with the Priority =
10.  The catalog backup job is the only one with a Priority = 11.  There
are no volume restrictions.  My approach was to get things running and
then tweak as needed.  I'm still at the "get things running stage".
