Rotation by pool is a good idea, it's just not the historical way of doing it 
in Legato. Legato did it a funky way. Newer way is better, but a lot of old 
time Legato junkies (like me) still haven't converted over to it.

Thanks.  Are you saying that you don't recommend rotation by pool?  I was going 
to create a clone set actually once a month and take the clone tapes offsite.  
If I create a clone pool and put 4-5 volumes in there and execute a clone 
operation, do I have to do anything to the volumes to remove them from the 
jukebox?  To be more specific do I have to set them to full, change the 
location attribute, etc.?
