Eric - All I can say is "BINGO" - you hit exactly what I was talking about -
I am glad that I am not the only one who has seen this.

What I do not understand, is why they did not implement the
Backupsets/Instant Archive to be handled under DRM - just as the DB backups
and the copy pools are - atleast, that would be something.

My preference would be to have a longer retention for copy pools, thus, less
time and access spent for the server.
