1. We store all of our full archive tapes outside the library.  We run a
daily script that does:

        - q media * stgpool=stgpoolname wherestate=mountablein
wherestatus=full
        - creates checkout commands and runs
        - produces a report for our operators to remove these tapes

3. Since you are keeping it forever, you should ensure these tapes are
regularly recycled.  We run a script that checks all tapes that have not
been written to in over 1 year and move the data from them.
