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. (I seem to recall this issue
has come up before, but I don't recall the resolution.)
