Sorry I am with Dave on this. Yes the NetBackup Pool is there by default,
and yes if it remains unconfigured, new media goes into this pool, but
ideally the NetBackup pool is for the placement of catalog backups. Its
much, much easier to keep a track of the tapes by seperating them into
corresponding pools.

Of course, depends on your environemnt, type of client, backups, volume
configuration, ect

Thats odd then, why when configuring catalogue backups to tapes it will only
allow you to input media which is assigned to the Netbackup pool?
