Jim, 

1) I would love to use ACSLS software just handle cleaning staff. 
There is no good way to do it from NBU now, esspesially with SSO
option in place.
-  NBU fails to clean DLT7000 with STK firmware tape drives 
using TapeAlert feature  
-  NBU can't handle situation when cleanings initiated by library
itself i.e AutoClean feature. It's suppose to be a patch 7xx
which should be released in June to fix it. 

2) You can share library between different backup software/platforms 
if you are using ACSLS


Thanks,
Andrew
