Well that one is easy.  Ask 'em to buy more tapes or to list what they
don't want to back up. :)
make sure that when you buy disk you cost tape to back it up to.

TAANSTAFL...  there ain't no such thing as a free lunch

We use LTO4 tapes for the primary tape storage pools and LTO3 tapes for the

I was trying to see if there was a way to free up more LTO3 tapes for scratch 
tapes.
Looks like we will just have to buy more LTO3 tapes.

Short answer no. Its all or nothing with copy pools. You can keep just
the last version of each file with an active pool, but you should have a
copy pool as well just in case your primary pool goes bad.  You could
send the active pool offsite and keep the copy pool onsite.  What are
you trying to save on?

Our primary tape backup pool is set to keep 5 versions of each file. Each

the overnight incremental backups into this storage pool are copied into the
copypool and then these tapes are sent offsite. Is there anyway to setup the
copypool so that it only has the last 2 versions of each file instead of 5 
versions?

Thanks&   Regards
