Media pool usage examples
The examples below show some configurations you may want to consider when
choosing the appropriate strategy for a particular backup environment.
Example 1
In the model shown in Figure 37 on page 140, all objects are backed up to the same
media pool. The backup specification does not reference a pool, so the default pool
is used, which is part of the device definition.

Example 2
Large library devices contain a number of physical drives and media used by different
departments or applications. You can configure a media pool for each department,
as shown in
Figure 38 on page 141, and decide which drive in the library will handle
the actual data transfer. The arrow pointing from a backup specification to a media
pool indicates that you defined a target media pool in a backup specification. If you
do not specify a media pool in the backup specification, the default pool, specified
in the device definition, is used.
For details about the relation between media pools and large library devices, see
“
Large libraries ” on page 162.
