Each to their own at the end of the day. What I have done in the past and
present is:

1) Netbackup Pool is for the netbackup catalog tapes (currently 2 live in
there).
2) Each Policy has its own Volume Pool
3) Easier to manage tapes (ie: Only tapes in a specified pool will contain
data for the end client. Having all tapes in one pool, with all clients
using them means that possibly tape retention and expiry of tapes could be
an issue.

Example:

Client1 Policy has a Volume pool called Client1_Full and Client1_Incr

And so on....

Hi all,

What is "best practice" with regards to Volume Pools ?

We are thinking of using a single Volume Pool for all of our data tapes. Is
it good practice to use the "Netbackup" Volume pool for this situation ?
