Hello,

For now I have set the status of the used tapes as ARCHIVE.
And started the next backup.
Post backup I could see , other tapes in the same pool were used and not the 
ARCHIVE ones.
So now I guess I can just take out the ARCHIVE tapes out of the library , to be 
kept at offsite.


Thank you.

Regards,
Sachin

update volume={volumename} VolStatus=Used (or Archive)

As long as you set the tapes to used or archive state (archive tapes 
won't be recycled automatically) then this will happen automatically.
