We have had to setup a lot of different configurations for customers
depending upon their business requirements.
Some customers have come up with bazaar reasons for their pool
configurations. You end up having a debate with a "die hard" "sock and
sandal" wearing SCO enthusiast. (My apologies if I have offended someone)
Some of these reasons include;
* Different drive models within a silo
* Different retention on clone pools
* Snapshots (this was historical due to the Powersnap metadata
saveset's preventing media recycling)
* Media retention (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Annual etc)
Some customers use LTO4 for daily's, the LTO5 tapes for Monthly. Cost
savings.
* NetWorker archiving feature. (Yes one of our customers still uses
this feature)
* WORM Tapes
* Differentiating levels. i.e. Log backups every 1 hour with a short
retention policy

Subject: [Networker] Pools ?
All,
Hello. I am curious how all of you are using pools today ? As we know
pools are very flexible and as a result can be very confusing. So I am
curious.
1. Do you mix device types within the same pool ? (Disk and tape devices
?)
2. Do you select multiple backup levels for one pool ? (incrementals and
fulls etc.)
Please feel free to post you opinions on pools or send me a brief
description about how you use them.
