I have one piece of advice, a quote from a classic:
"All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others".
Put your execs in a colocated pool, and don't worry about the extra tapes you
use, storing a 4G footprint on a 40G tape.
Though I might add a warning and a suggestion. Regardless of the duration, a
"jump with both feet" transition will have some uncertainty. I heard
suggested here the upgrade method:
Define some of your tapes to be -E
Make new storage pools for the -E drives.
Set your new backups to hit the -E pools.
Gradually MOVE DATA from the -B pools to the -E pools.
When done, upgrade the rest of the -Bs to -E.
This has the advantage of never forcing a tape to need odd processing "fast".
