I don't believe your words were taken out of context, as even re-reading
your follow-up, I'm interpretting your words the same way.

I think you are misunderstanding what netbackup does...it DOES NOT mix
retentions on a single media...

If for instance you have one pool, named "netbackup" and you have 3
different policies, each with different retentions

Ie.
PolicyA -> FULL=3D4 weeks, INC=3D2 weeks -> pool=3Dnetbackup
PolicyB -> FULL=3D8 weeks, INC=3D4 weeks -> pool=3Dnetbackup
PolicyB -> FULL=3D24 weeks, INC=3D4 weeks -> pool=3Dnetbackup

You will ned up with something simlar to the following:

MediaID Pool            Retention
000001  Netbackup       24 weeks
000001  Netbackup       24 weeks
000001  Netbackup       24 weeks
000001  Netbackup       24 weeks
