The default pool has NO groups in it.  If you create a new pool, and forget
to put groups in it this becomes the new default.   I use this 'feature' to
capture clint side 'pushes'.

You don't direct backups to a pool.  Instead you do a backup, and the
best pool is chosen.  So it's possible to add a new pool that now
matches a backup better.

If that happened, then the backups could change.

If you do a probe from the command line (nsrgrp -p <group>), you should
see the pools chosen for all the backups.  Do the indexes show the
Default pool or another one?
