This article introduces how to make full and incremental backup data saved to two backup pools separately.

By default, full and incremental backup data is saved in the same backup pool. To save full and incremental backup data to two backup pools separately, we must create two backup pools first and then configure some selection criteria on the two pools.

We can design as below:

Design 1:

First of all, create a new group -- Group A. After that, put all client instances that needs to be backed up to Group A. 

Then create two new backup pools -- Pool A and Pool B. In the properties of Pool A, on the "Selection Criteria" tab, choose full for "Levels" and click OK. In the properties of Pool B, on the "Selection Criteria" tab, choose incr for "Levels" and click OK.

At last, remember to place some tapes to Pool A and Pool B.

Now if you start the backup task for Group A, full and incremental backup data will be stored into Pool A and Pool B separately.

Design 2:

First of all, create two new groups -- Group A and Group B. After that, put all client instances that needs to be backed up to both groups. In the properties of Group A, on the "Advanced" tab, choose full in the "Level" dropdown menu. In the properties of Group B, on the "Advanced" tab, choose incr in the "Level" dropdown menu.

Then create two new backup pools -- Pool A and Pool B. In the properties of Pool A, on the "Basic" tab, choose Group A for "Groups". In the properties of Pool B, on the "Basic" tab, choose Group B for "Groups".

At last, remember to place some tapes to Pool A and Pool B.

Now if you start backup tasks for Group A and Group B, full and incremental backup data will be stored into Pool A and Pool B separately.
