Hmm... interesting observation. I'm using the job options "Full Backup
Pool", "Incremental Backup Pool", ... to handle automatic job upgrades
there. As they add new clients from time to time, I would have to
think which option would work best... having full backups in the
incremental pool used on weekdays is definitely not something I'd like
to see there, and getting them to manually start the initial backup
for a new client will also not easily be possible...
Anyway, if the pool assignment in the job options works differently to
the one in the schedule line, I'd say this is a bug, too :-)
I hope I'll start working on that installation during this week :-)
