I have a question from my legal staff. Let's suppose I create a tape with 
a 2 months browse/retention policy. And I leave it in my library for more 
than 2 months - i.e., it is now older than it's expiration period, and is 
therefore recyclable (all savesets on the tape have expired). And I also 
have new blank tapes that are labeled in the same pool.

Which will NW use first, if it needs a tape - will it re-label the 
recyclable tape, or will it use one of the blank unused tapes in the same 
pool? And what settings would control that?

(the reason for the question - we are legally prevented, at the moment, 
from overwriting any tape. So they want to know what will happen if we 
happen to put in an old tape that has expired, but have forgotten to slide 
the switch to make the tape read-only. Will that tape be overwritten 
first, or will NW use unused, labeled tapes in the same pool first)
