Each weekday morning we run the following command "backup stg BKPLTO4POOL COPYPOOL_LTO3" to backup the data that has been backed up overnight onto LTO3 tapes and then checkout these LTO3 tapes and send them offsite. I have a reclaimation process running on a daily basis for the COPYPOOL_LTO3 storage pool. However this process is using up scratch tapes that are within the tape library at an alarming rate and I am starting to run low on scratch tapes.
Am I doing something wrong? Should there be a daily reclaimation process running on this offsite tape storage pool? Should these COPYPOOL_LTO3 tapes which are in the tape library be sent offsite as well as the ones that are sent offsite on a daily basis? What would happen if I deleted the data on one of these COPYPOOL_LTO3 tapes which are currently in the tape library?
