Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 6 MP4, catalog backups stealing tape from scratch pool

With NBU 6.0, you don't need to do anything special. Catalog tapes will be taken from the Scratch pool if necessary and will be put back when they expire. Your hot catalog backups have a frequency and retention just like any other backup. As the images expire, the tapes go back to the pool automatically - they're not "rogue" at all. You don't need to move them around yourself - just let NetBackup do its thing.

Hi,
I've noticed that on
occasion, the NBU hot catalog ('NBU-catalog' type policy) backups seem to not
use the tapes in the CatalogBackup volume pool and grabs a tape from the scratch
pool. There are 2 LTO3 tapes in that pool (CatalogBackup) specifically for
catalog backups and I don't think they are full so I'm unsure why it does this
at all, albeit rarely.
Now, the question
is, how can I return these rogue tapes to the scratch pool? If I just move it
back to scratch pool will it be used for normal backups, or do I need to erase
the tape?
Cheers,
