It was set to none in my case, because I had no Recycle pool set in the 
Scratch pool and while setting one can fix the issue, it limits flexibility.

Consider a setup with a "Full", "Diff", "Inc" and "Scratch" pools.

I would want to set the recycle Pool entries on the first 3 to 
themselves, so they return to their own pools. The scratch pool would 
have no Recycle Pool.

I have a large autoloader and I add a number of tapes and using "label 
barcodes", they are all added to the Scratch pool.

 From this point, each job as it runs takes a volume from the Scratch 
pool and it is added to the appropriate pool and I would expect the 
recycle pool for it to be the same as the pool it has moved to. With the 
current version it is "None" and I have to manually edit it.

The only "Recycle Pool" entry that makes sense for the Scatch pool at 
this point, to prevent "None" being entered, is "Scratch", which of 
course means that all recycled volumes go back into the scatch pool, not 
their own individual ones.

The only other option is to periodically check for tapes newly moved 
from Scratch and modify their Recycle pool entry.

Regards,

Richard
