Which then ties up media. You could have 1 file from a backup you assume to be retention of 1 week but as there is a file from a policy with a higher retention the tape has to honor that higher retention.This will only happen if you are mixing retentions on media ( off by default). This then means people who use the same tape pool are going to have tons of tapes around.
