An important thing you seem to be missing is shipping a Netbackup database
tape with these tapes ;)  If you have a disaster, you do not want to have to
manually import all these tapes (hours per tape).

You could add a script to auto-eject them.  Actually, that's what bpvault
does, though you could be smarter than it is.  If you have 20 tapes to eject
and only 14 slots in our mailslot, have your script create two scripts
instead of one and run the first one automatically.  Then when the
operators/admins/tape monkeys/whoever cleans out the mail slot, they/you can
run the second one.

OK, last question for today:

I am in the process of trying to write scripts for a home-grown bpvault
solution.  Can anyone tell me what the logical flow of events for
vaulting
is?  So far I have:
 
duplicate backups, 
place duplicate backups in Offsite volume pool, 
set expire date on these backups to 27 days so that they expire before
rotating back into library
eject offsite media from library, 
print media list to accompany offsite tapes, 
place new tapes in library and 
move them to the active media for backups volume group.  

Any other suggestions?

J Paul
