Thanks Arno and Ralf:
I decided to go with Arno's approach and used different pool definitions
in the job definition, and then tied each pool definition to a separate
device. Works like a charm, thanks again.

You can also set up "Full Backup Pool", "Differential Backup Pool",
and "Incremental Backup Pool" directives in the job configuration,
then link the referenced pools to their storage device, and everything
works without overrides :-)
JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultBackup"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Schedule = "Regular"
Storage = FileCh
Pool = DiskShort
Full Backup Pool = DiskLong
Differential Backup Pool = DiskShort
Incremental Backup Pool = DiskShort
...
}
Schedule {
Name = "Regular"
Run = Level=Full 1st tue at 8:20
Run = Level=Differential 2nd-5th tue at 8:25
Run = Level=Incremental sun,mon,wed-sat at 8:25
}
Pool {
Name = DiskLong
Storage = FileCh
...
}
Pool {
Name = DiskShort
Storage = File3Ch
...
}

you can overwrite the storage device and the pool in your schedule resource.
Schedule {
Name = "Backup VU0EM005"
Run = Level=Full 1st sun at 00:08
Run = Level=Differential Storage=VU0EM005-DISK
Pool=VU0EM005-Disk-Differential 2nd-5th sun at 00:08
Run = Level=Incremental Storage=VU0EM005-DISK Pool=VU0EM005-Disk-Incremental

[Bacula-users] Incremental and full backups of the same host to different disks
It is my understanding that one must use the same job name for full and incremental backups, otherwise Bacula is not able to perform an incremental backup. I have a need to send full backups of machines to one disk and incremental backups to another disk. If I have to use the same job definition for both incremental and full backups (with incremental and full backup levels being specified in the schedule definition), then how can I send full backups to one disk and incrementals to another?
