Hello can anyone tell me how start afresh with backups.

We currently have a group of nodes that all share the same storage group
(tape pool) etc.  We intend to begin co-location of these nodes but would
like one node one tape.  The reason for this is if we have a failure we can
start recovering from the co-located pool (1 tape 1 node) and not have to
mount all the old tapes to recover.

Is it possible to have your node perform a full backup to a co-located pool
and thereafter incrementally backup to this pool.  In the meantime the old
backups that reside in the non-colocated pools will eventually expire from
the system?  Similar to starting afresh


Is this the correct approach or am I missing something??
