Tim,

Be aware using a lot of pools, you may get serious problems,
Networker not just labelling the tapes he needs but 
far more tapes than he needs, causing you problems for 
other pools awaiting for a tape.

I always turn it off.

HTH,

Thierry

Kind regards - Bien cordialement - Vriendelijke groeten,

There is a "jukebox-wide" auto media management setting, which you can
see
in the Networker GUI under Media->Jukeboxes, that you often *do* want to
enable.  This allows for the jukebox to do various things on your
behalf.

You're right that you probably don't want to fool with the per-drive
setting for drives in a jukebox, but the overall setting is very useful.
