My backups are currently done on Mon-Thu to a 'Daily' pool, and on
Friday to a 'Weekly' pool. There are 4 tapes in the Daily pool, one for
each day, and 5 tapes in the Weekly pool, one for each Friday of the
month. Each pool has different overwrite protection times so that if
someone re-uses a weekly tape before they are supposed to it will not be
overwritten.

I now want to experiment with virtual/synthetic backups, so I'll do a
full backup to disk on Saturday night, and then Incremental backups to
disk for each other day of the week. From those disk backups I want to
do a synthetic full backup to tape as per my original regime.

The Next Pool setting doesn't appear to be well documented, but
certainly vbackup doesn't work without it. I believe I need to set up
the Next Pool in my 'disk' pool, but there doesn't appear to be a way to
set the Next Pool to Daily and Weekly, I have to choose one or the
other...

Is there a way to do it or is it just not supported?

Thanks

James
