Thanks, I added it but am still worried. The retention is 3 months, but because
I did a full backup most of the pool is full. Whats going to happen when the
last tape fills? I know each one is not out of its retention period, but I want
it to ask for tape 1.

Look in the docs, under Pool Resource. Look for something like "Use
Oldest Volume".
That may suit your needs.
