Yes, that is what I plan to do now that I understand the concept a
little better with NW.
I still plan on creating a dedicated scratch pool to hold the expired
tapes coming back from offsite.
Thanks.

Bruce,
Why not just select the recycle from and recycle to options in the pool
configuration and let NetWorker do the work for you.

One other related question. When volumes in a production media pool
become
recyclable, they will stay in that pool unless they are relabeled into
another. What i would like is not only a dedicated scratch pool, but
when
tapes become expired it would be nice for them to be automatically
labeled
into the scratch pool again, ready for the next request from whatever
group source backup.
It seems to me that in order to be able to do that you would have to set
recycled from pools in the group sourced media pool, so that every pool
could grab volumes from any other pool (as long as the scratch source
pool
has recycled to pools yes).
This seems very messy and a candidate for trouble, and an ugly way to do
something the product should automatically do by default. I see a
possible
workaround to run a scheduled script that finds recyclable volumes in
production media pools and relabel to the designated scratch pool.
Does this make sense to anybody?
