        I'm having a problem with ADSM database backups prompting for
scratch volumes: I _DON'T_ want to use _ANY_ scratch volumes, but when I
run ADSM in roll-forward it only accepts scratch volumes for the
incremental DB backups.  I can specify a backup device class and volume
name when I manually perform fulls.  How do I set ADSM to perform
unattended database backups to a pool of non-scratch media dedicated to
them?  I'm considering having, say, 4 labeled tapes dedicated to DB
backups in a tape library, and those tapes will _NOT_ be part of any
storage pools migrated to by the backup pool.
