Actually, a client-initiated backup will not necessarily go to the
Default pool. It will definitely go to the Default pool only if all
other enabled backup pools have a value specified in their "group"
attribute. However, if a pool is configured without any value for
its "group" attribute, a client-initiated backup MAY be written to
it. For example, if a pool is configured with a value only in its
"client" attribute, any backup of the client, whether server-
initiated or client-initiated, will go to that pool (assuming there
is not another pool that specified both the client and the group).
The only reason I bring this up is because a high percentage of
folks that attend my classes believe that all client-initiated
backups go to the Default pool.
True, that can be done; however, as a long term NetWorker user I'd
equally argue that it's embarrassing and annoying in equal parts that
you can't select a backup pool in the client GUI for filesystem
backups even though you *can* for the client GUI for Exchange backups,
MSSQL backups, etc.
I can't tell you now many times I've been assured there is an RFE for
it!
[disclaimer: I thoroughly avoid using the GUI at all times]
On Skip's original question - 99% of the time I see manual saves being
used is for testing purposes.
Cheers,
Preston.
