Basically, yes. Unless you rely on Bacula to handle volume use and rec<cling (which it does quite well) and use a setup where you don't limit the number of jobs per volume and don't use one volume per day (which will break as soon as you forget to change the pool definition, or forget to updadte the volumes after you added a client; also, it will break once a job fails or you run an extra job). > Does the restore job allways use the Default Pool regardless of > which pool a volume (for a job) resides?

Restores figure out which volumes from which pool to use automatically. What you set up in the configuration is, IMO, more or less only a placeholder for the configuration file parser :-) > Mike Arno -- Arno Lehmann IT-Service Lehmann www.its-lehmann.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
