Tapes are marked full when errors occur. This does not prevent them from
being recycled and used again in the future. NetWorker does not freeze
tapes in the way NetBackup does.
Also, is there a concept of scratch tapes. Where any
volume pool that needs a blank tape can go to the
scratch pool and automatically assign the tape to the
pool defined in the group???
This is not something that is in the product by design, but it can
easily be implemented. Create a pool called scratch, set the flag to
allow tapes from the scratch pool to be recycled to other pools, and set
all other pools to allow tapes to be recycled from other pools. Then
label new tapes into the scratch pool and make them recyclable.
