Ahh! Let me configure that and think about it. It may be what I need.

You should not use 2 different jobs in this scenario, since Bacula will not 
recognize both for incremental/full job backup/restore file controls.
Your schedule should be something like that:

Schedule {
   Run=Incremental Pool=x ...
   Run=Full        Pool=y ...
}
