I have recently started using Bacula and have a couple of questions  
regarding volume pools.  I am using 7.2 version, and we have 4 Linux  
servers with a total of about 100GB of data to backup.

1.  We have two different storage devices that are in different  
locations (because of bandwidth limitations).  Should we be creating  
different Volume Pools for each storage location?

I've tried testing using one pool, and two pools.  When I use one pool  
and a backup job is run it displays an error "Marking Volume  
"Vol-0001" in Error in Catalog." and then it continues to run.   When  
I setup two different volume pools it doesn't display this error.

2.   I've noticed that some people recommend setting up different  
volume pools for Full, Differential and Incremental jobs. Is this  
still a recommended strategy for Bacula with backing up to disk, and  
if so when would someone use this strategy?

The documentation here  
http://blog.bacula.org/whitepapers/CommunityDiskBackup.pdf doesn't  
mention this.  I don't want to set things up, and then our volumes  
grow too large and have to re-do everything.


Thank you,
