I'm reading the "Job resource" section:
http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION001830000000000000000
and it contains the following:

run = "Nightly-backup level=%l since=\"%s\" storage=DDS-4"

I take it the difference here is this will run the copy as a separate
job, rather than writing the same job to 2 places at once?

It looks like the clone job would do what I want for now except for one
small detail -- and that also applies to writing 2 copies at once:
  I'm trying to guard against media failure. If the main media fills up
and it doesn't fail, I'll pull it out of the jukebox and stick a blank
one in. At this point I want to overwrite the copy.

The way I know to set that up is in the Pool resource: AutoPrune &
*Retention settings. However, it seems I can't specify Pool in the clone
job, all I can specify is Storage. Is there a way to configure my clone
Storage to automatically overwrite existing data?

Or is clone job a wrong thing for me?

TIA
