Correct. Unless you have mix retentions on media set which i think
everyone has agreed is a bad idea.

Your description below uses 4 tapes ( if one tape per backup is used )
which are all associated to the same volume pool.

IMO this is bad practice.

I do think it explains it well to the person who originally asked the
question however which is nice.
