I'm all about using my own pools.  We have an Offsite an Onsite and a 
Incremental pool.  My only problem with it, is you can't have 2 Full pools 
enabled at the same time (which our Offsite and Onsite pool's are).

This caused us to write a script to disable one pool and enable the other 
before their respective nights backups started so we don't have to do it 
manually (let me know if you want it).

Anyway, having different pools, makes it easier to organize tapes.  The only 
downfall, is the amount of tapes you can have for each pool in the library 
itself can be a problem, if you're backing up more data then you have tapes 
assigned to each pool.

But that's when I bust out the old \rm -rf /home/* and "clean up" what gets 
backed up and what doesn't.  It's funner then a .nsr file.

just kiddin.....
