The benefit I see for vault is if you are storing tapes off site by "tape".
I currently send off by container.  One container a day.  I just come in and 
eject all tapes made yesterday, put in container and send off.

I have 1 tape a week that is sent off site as "open media" and stored as an 
individual tape.

Now if we change the way we do backups and I have to store all by tape - I will 
be buying vault.

It all depends on how big your site is and how you store offsite.

Vault's basic function is to manage offsite tapes.  If you ship tapes off to 
Iron mountain or some other destination, vault makes it easy to manage ejecting 
the tapes, creating audit reports etc.  From your set up with the VTL 
capabilities, the SLP route is probably the best source for actually creating 
your tape images.

Ah got it.

What's the point of Vault then? This all seems very easy to setup with base 
Netbackup :)
