It's already possible to specify which pool should be used for jobs of specific levels: JobDefs { Name = Backup Type = Backup ... Full Backup Pool = Full Differential Backup Pool = Inc Incremental Backup Pool = Inc ... } Reason says all that SHOULD be required is to make Bacula honor these directives when it upgrades Job levels.
