I'm wondering. If I have a tape that NetWorker has marked as "FULL" .. 
.will it ever expire? For example, if I have a browse/retention policy of 
2 months. NW fills up a tape, and marks it as "FULL". 2 months from now, 
will that tape then become recycable, like other non-full tapes?

I've always just manually marked it as recyclable after the 2 month 
period, and then ran a script to re-label all recyclable tapes. Mostly 
because I thought that, being FULL, NetWorker would never use the tape 
again.

Yes? No? I'm being silly?
