You define media pools to allow for different type of backups to go to 
different sets of media.

Pools can bed differentiated my many categories: groups, clients, savesets, 
backup level.

When scheduled backups start, NetWorker will look at what needs to be backed up 
from what group, client, saveset and level... and then try to find the pool 
that closest matches these parameters.

If there is no pool that matches, it will use media from the Default pool.

Therefore, if you want your month end backups to go to a separate backup pool, 
then one method is to create a new group for the month end, and create/uses 
schedule suitable for this purpose.  Put that client in that group.  Then 
define a new pool, and then link that group into that pool.[/quote]
