Tricky, IMO. Mostly because I don't know if it will work as you expect, but a simple test case could confirm that. > For example, when there's a full backup running for a week, it'd be possible > to run incrementals or differentials at the same time (based on the last > successful full backup), I do think that, if you have a full job running, any jobs of a different level would be upgraded to a full because the last full job available is not terminated Ok.

Yes. Either use different pools (which you might do anyway beause of the different retention times) and assign a storage device to the pools. This works only with 1.39.something, though. Or use a job override in the schedule, forcing the backups of different levels to different devices. That works with 1.36., perhaps also older versions, which I know because I did it long enough :-) Arno > Silver > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
