Check the backup copygroups in the policy domain for this node.
Directories, by default, are bound to the management class with the longest
RETONLY value. If two management classes both have the same highest value,
then the management class whose name is highest in the operating system's
collating sequence will be used. For example, suppose you have three
management classes with RETONLY values like this:
DISKPOOL: RETONLY=90
STANDARD: RETONLY=30
TAPEPOOL: RETONLY=90
Both DISKPOOL and TAPEPOOL have the highest RETONLY value. TAPEPOOL is
"higher" than DISKPOOL from a name sorting perspective. So TAPEPOOL would
be the default management class for directories.
So it is possible that directory backups are going to tape, but file
backups are going to a different (non-tape) pool.
