What's the determining factor as to which tape is used for a backup?  

I've always been under the impression that tapes contain data from similar
retention periods and same expiration dates.  I've been looking at the
'Images on Media' reports and have noticed that it varies for retention
periods (mixed at times) and expiration dates (inconsistent) but definitely
the same volume pool.
