My feeling is that not many shops mix retentions on a tape volume.  I
don't, so maybe that's why. ;-)

If you decide you must separate daily from weekly from monthly, and they
share the same retention, then you probably need separate Volume Pools
and you specify a separate volume pool in each policy schedule.  I don't
see the need and don't ;-)

In case it's unclear to those folks new to NetBackup, a Volume Pool can
hold tapes that are free or assigned, and if assigned, be of any and
various retentions.
