We have a relatively small system also, and we have copy pools which go
offsite.  We reclaim these tapes on a daily bases, and use the location to
keep track of what goes offsite, what stays offsite and what needs to come
back.  The hardest thing to manage is the database backup, but we use a flat
file to keep track of those.
