I think you are.

I back up around 20 individual servers plus ~90Tb of data sets into 3 
pools - the pools are chosen based on retention policy for the data 
concerned.

All the machine backups go into one pool. It is counterproductive to use 
individual pools for machines as that means tapes aren't filled 
regularly and you're having to either keep lots in the changer or have 
to change tapes constantly.
