Hi there!

The beauty of a storage management system like NetWorker is
that it keeps track of tapes for you.  Need a file on tape
15?  NetWorker will tell you and/or load it for you and
restore the file.  There is no way I know of to force
NetWorker to use tapes "in order" unless you are feeding
them to the tape drive by hand.

If you require isolating some data on a particular set
of tapes, create a pool for that data, label tapes
into that pool, and make sure those savesets are stored
to that pool.

HTH,

Byron
