Re: [Networker] Can someone confirm the following about "scratch" tapes or "scratch pools" ?

One other related question. When volumes in a production media pool become
recyclable, they will stay in that pool unless they are relabeled into
another. What i would like is not only a dedicated scratch pool, but when
tapes become expired it would be nice for them to be automatically labeled
into the scratch pool again, ready for the next request from whatever
group source backup.
It seems to me that in order to be able to do that you would have to set
recycled from pools in the group sourced media pool, so that every pool
could grab volumes from any other pool (as long as the scratch source pool
has recycled to pools yes).
This seems very messy and a candidate for trouble, and an ugly way to do
something the product should automatically do by default. I see a possible
workaround to run a scheduled script that finds recyclable volumes in
production media pools and relabel to the designated scratch pool.
Does this make sense to anybody?
