Ah yes.

Yes and yes ;-) Depending on what you want. Admittedly, the best solution would be 'Full Backup Storage=', 'Differential Backup storage=' and 'Incremental Backup Storage=' directives in the job resource. In the long term, I'd like to see the ability to change the job setup dynamically using python events. As of now, I decided to go the manual way: I create volumes manually (I don't use file storage) and, when a job level is automatically elevated, I usually notice the stuck backup job in reasonable time and manually cancel that job and re-run the job with the necessary settings by hand. I wouldn't do this at customer sites, though, where there's noone around who could handle that.
