Hi Michael,
this behavior is expected. But you can specify
Full Backup Pool = [poolname]
Incremental Backup Pool = [poolname]
Differential Backup Pool = [poolname]
in the job resources to solve your problem.
Kind regards
Julian

Another alternative to julian's method is to add it in the schedule. I tried
the above method at first but after I started approaching 75 clients, adding 3
lines more per job didn't seem efficient. I prefer each configuration object
to inherit as much as it can :)
Schedule {
Name = DailyCycle
Run = Level=Full Pool=MonthlyBackups 1st sun at 22:00
Run = Level=Full Pool=FullBackups 2nd-5th sun at 22:00
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=IncrementalBackups FullPool=FullBackups mon-sat
at 6:00
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=IncrementalBackups FullPool=FullBackups mon-sat
at 22:00
}
Cheers,
jonathan
