Thanks R. i have this guide with me but i don't know i m lost somewhere.

Like the questions are:
1- "how I can automate checkouts of copy storage pool tapes"

2- "when i bring back the tapes to onsite, and checkin into library would it 
reuse it for backup of
primary stg. pool on these tapes or it would go for scratch volumes?"

3- "if i keep reuse delay of 3 then should i b able to use the tapes sent to 
offsite as scratch volumes
or what?"
