Mike,

I'm under the impression, that when a Tape expires, it remains within the
same pool that it was in. For reason that the data is still valid and
retrievable until the tape is reused.

Hello All

     I have a question about Scratch_pool, I know how to define
     a scratch_pool and assign all the blank tapes to it and
     NetBackup will assign different pools as they need tapes.
     Now, Does it do the "reverse", if the tapes are expired
     in the pool, would it go back to the scratch pool??
