I've modified my bacula-dir.conf file as mentioned in the link above to have pools for full, differential, and incremental. This setup seems to be working fine for a single client, the bacula server itself. Now I'm expanding my test to include other clients. As I include additional clients do I need to multiply the 'Maximum Volumes = 8' (for the Full pool) to be maximum volumes * number of clients = 8 * 2 = 16 and should I do this for all pools? Does the restore job allways use the Default Pool regardless of which pool a volume (for a job) resides? Can a restore job restore a file from a volume that is in the Incremental Pool even though the Restore Job specifes the Default Pool?
