You said you configured the duplication script to use a pool containing
only LTO3 media.  This isn't the way media is selected.

It's all about the storage unit.  You'll have to specify a destination
storage unit that is defined to use LTO3 carts, then the duplication
will write to the appropriate media type.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Using scratch pool with mixed libraries

Greetings --

All of my backups are written to disk storage units and then I use
scripts to duplicate the images to tape.

Originally, my libray had 4 LTO2 tapedrives and I've added 2 LTO3
drives.
I can successfully duplicate backup images to LTO2 tapes with the LTO3
drives configured as HCART3, but I haven't been able to force NetBackup
to use LTO3 tapes on the drives when the drives are configured as
HCART3.

I've configured the duplication scripts to use a pool containing only
LTO3 media, but NetBackup insists on pulling tapes from the scratch pool
containing
LTO2 media.

Is there anyone here using a scratch pool with a single library
containing multiple types of tape drives and media?
