I've just added incremental nightly backups to my schedules, and there will be some cases where a valid full was not found. My problem is that the incrementals go to a File storage device and the volumes go to a File pool. When bacula couldn't find a proper full backup, it went ahead and did a full backup to File SD and File pool. What would be the proper way to send this backup to say Tape pool and Tape SD instead? Or skip the inc job is no valid full was found?
One question first: Have you already tried a recovery which includes files from pools on tape and disk-based tools? I'd recommend to analyze the results of trying this and first creating a disaster recovery procedure with such a setup...
Then, I only found one way to handle your setup (mine is similar). Make sure that job level upgrades don't happen (which _can_ be a serious problem. Adding new clienst is the simple case.) or at least that volumes for the pools involved can not be automatically created, so that you have the chance to manually intervene when necessary.
I don't know of any option to let Bacula handle such a scenario automatically correct. I'm counting on python scripting, but didn't investigate yet. Also, I assume that python events and Bacula control from a python method are not yet ready to suport the necessary operations.
