The second desire to make the tape so no further backups write to it can be
done by suspending it.   A suspended tape will not have further images
written to it but will otherwise expire normally.

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpmedia -suspend -ev <tapenum>

Create a Volume Pool called Offsite and move the tape(s) into it.  The jobs
themselves will pull tapes from your main pool so as long as no job is
referenced to pull from Offsite the tapes/data will be safe.

Can anyone give me a command with wich i can set individual tapes offsite or

offline so the tape remains in the NB databases but will not be used for 
backups?
Thanks
