Since I got no response from the users list: When starting a job from the console and modifying the job parameters, the 'modify Pool' operation overrides the 'Pool' directive in the job definition. It clearly SHOULD also override the 'Full Backup Pool', 'Differential Backup Pool' etc. directives. However, it appears this is not happening.
The reason I ask is because I was testing a new-to-me LTO-2 drive last night, and I could not get Bacula to use the tape storage device or pool. It accepted the modifications, but then went ahead and used the original disk storage from the Job definition anyway, with no error messages emitted. Run Backup job JobName: Spikyfishthing Backup Level: Full Client: spikyfishthing FileSet: Spikyfishthing Full Set Pool: Full-Tape (From User input) Storage: babylon5-sd (From user selection) When: 2009-12-28 00:40:12 Priority: 10 OK to run?

The modifications were just silently ignored.
