I can think of one issue which I encountered--if you do a
Differential or Incremental backup but no prior Full backup exists,
it becomes upgraded to Full. Because of this, you can possibly have a
Full backup done on any day, at least when you're starting out.
Myself, I realized I didn't care so much about whether it was a daily/
weekly/monthly backup, but actually I wanted to separate them by
their level, so my pools are full/diff/incr instead. If this is the
case for you, I would suggest you look at these three Job/JobDefs
directives:
Full Backup Pool = <pool-resource-name>
Differential Backup Pool = <pool-resource-name>
Incremental Backup Pool = <pool-resource-name>
These will override the pool specification depending on the level of
the backup. Using all three of them makes "Pool = " redundant. When
using them, I could remove the pool specifications from my schedule.
