I am not convinced that modifying a Job record to override a Pool NextPool record is a good idea or even simpler than simply changing the definition in the Pool or creating a separate Pool. I think we need to find a much better way to do this without creating new directive all the time that will have the same problems that we are already faced with. What currently works pretty will is the FullBackupPool, DifferentialBackupPool, ... in the Job record. If we could somehow generalize that concept, we might have a better solution. Perhaps FullNextPool, ... Anyway, it will require more thought before I will feel comfortable changing something ...
