Interesting.  Why wouldn't they look into completing everything when they were 
helping me set it up?  I've got to tell ya that I'm not real impressed with EMC 
so far, I hope it gets better because I'm ready to go back to using Backup Exec.

Right now we have one pool for our VTLs, the pool is DL3D and that is how it 
was set up by the EMC guy who came to our site.  I've been reading a lot of 
people have their pools set up quite differently.  They have daily, weekly, 
monthly, etc. pools.  What is the best way to set up our pools?  

I'm going to keep picking your brain if you don't mind.  :)

Thanks,
Jason
