Hello--

I have some questions about best practices for offsite rotation.  I'm not new 
to Networker but setting up and defining an offsite rotation is new to me.  
Every other place I've worked at its always been defined, in place and a had 
published routine to follow.

In my environment I have a VTL (EMC DL3D) with a large PTL (iScalar).  I have 
my groups, pools and auto clone jobs (to the PTL) configured at the group level 
but am unsure on best practices for rotating the tapes out for offsite storage. 

Every client runs a full backup on one night of the week with incrementals 
running on the other 6 nights.

I'm confused about when to rotate to offsite?  Should I just send whatever 
tapes from the clone pool (all groups clone to the one pool) are full on the 
regular scheduled weekly pickup basis?  

Is there a better practice I'm missing or a better way to implement offsite 
rotation?

Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
