I have THREE job definitions defined for incremental, differential and full backups. The incremental and differential backups are assigned to the INCREMENTALS pool and the full backups to FULLS. Observing the behaviour of the backups for the pass few days, I noticed when the first incremental backup kicked in, it picked up a volume from SRATCH pool and re-assigned it to the INCREMENTALS pool but for both differential and full backups, both went to a volume in the SCRATCH pool. For the time being, I just re-created half my tapes to be FULLS and the rest INCREMENTALS. That doesn't resolve the fundamental issue but at least acceptable for the time being. BTW, I am still running 5.0.2.
