I don't REALLY want that -- let me rephrase. I wanted to do that without changing my config files, ie. to ONLY have it happen for scheduled jobs, not for jobs run from the console. I think that there is no way to do this, however, even if you manually specify the pool in the "run" statement. In any case: Job { Name = "BigBrother-NET" Type = Backup Client = katahdin-fd FileSet = "BigBrother-NET" Pool = combined_DELTA Full Backup Pool = combined_FULL Incremental Backup Pool = combined_DELTA Schedule = "UMD-F24T-Inc" Storage = helios_DDS Messages = Standard SpoolData = yes Write Bootstrap = /usr/local/bacula/var/bootstrap/BigBrother-NET.bsr } ...as you can see, I've defined the pools here. I didn't see your client config, but I suspect this is your problem. - -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer III |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFSm7Cmb+gadEcsb4RAiRSAJ4kNFUAjL9cIk17hGGEJsa88NgZaACfe2oc YR+6l0altxXHR+Pid/JVLsc= =vrKh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
