We just started using ADSM and wanted to run by a couple of ideas to see if
anyone sees any problems with them, or has a better idea.

We want to use system similar to the ten tape method; daily backups
Mon-Thurs, Friday will be a weekly and also a monthly.  We will need to
move a weeks worth of backups offsite once a week.  These will be full
backups, we are backing up a database.

The strategy will be to have two sets of tapes.  I want to be able to swap
out the tapes without any intervention with ADSM.  If I have two monday
tapes, and they are both labeled MONDAY, can I set ADSM up so that it just
does a full back up to the tape MONDAY every monday and it not care what is
one the tape, will clean up the index or other cache if necessary and keep
on working?

Thanks
