Yeah sorry about my english, I'm not so clear.
All these tapes are in the same pool, and the VOLUME retention is 18 days
(cause the first tape goes to the bank, the second becomes first after 20
days, and so on..).
I've read a lot about the retentions, I know that there is a thing about the
priority, something like :
VOLUME => JOBS => FILES.
I assume that I don't really understand the roles of the jobs and files
retention, any help is welcom on that one..
I don't do an "update slot" (you mean, manually ?). I thought I could set a
tape to the "used" status manually when it goes to the bank, but the point
is I don't want to do things manually.
Hope you get my point !
Thx !
