I'm working on a transition on some of our sites from Backup Exec to
Netbackup and I'm wondering about their use of Volume Pools.  One of our
sites uses volume pools as "buckets" for tapes they take offsite.
Aka... a 3_mo_offsite VP and a 1_yr_offsite VP.  Still others use the
defaults... or some make up their own.  The problem I am finding is that
you constantly have to track which media needs to be reloaded or make
sure you have a boat load of scratch media available just incase.  Any
better ideas on volume pools / how do you guys use them effectively?
