Simon, this is a good plan. Don't worry about mixing retentions, NetBackup will not do that unless you have that option enabled (which you said you don't).
Only caveat I would give is to pace yourself as much as you can. If you have a lot of volume pools, the initial grab on scratch will be pretty high and until your older volume pool tapes start expiring, you might put yourself in a situation where you use up all the scratch.

I want to group them together, but one thing I noticed is that they have different retentions. I used to think that was a big "no no", but could someone advise if this is an issue in 5.1 MP5. I know the default is turned off. The aim of the excercise is to try to use the smallest number of pools possible, and maximize the amount of data into the tapes, so they get full. I kind of would like to fill the tapes as much as poss Any feedback would greately be appreciated Thanks Simon This email (including any attachments) may contain confidential and/or privileged information or information otherwise protected from disclosure.
