Admins,
        This is my first mail to the list and I hope you won't disappoint me.
I have couple of questions .

1)To make my life easier, I am loading the tapes into the library as per the
barcodes i.e tape1 goes to slot1, tape2 to slot2. Am I doing something wrong
?

2)I am keeping a retension period of one week and I have added eight tapes for
each volume pool(as some of my backups goes to one tape). Is this the correct 
procedure ?

3)Before I start the backup , I had to do some preprocessing. So most of the
backups are done through Cron. Here what I want to do is to eject the tape out
of the tape drive to the outport. How do I achieve this ?  For some backups I
had created two streams. Is that possible to eject two tapes to the outport
once the backup is finished?

4)For loading the tapes back into the library, I am using the GUI. I know that
this can be done through scripts. Can I able to control the tapes like which
tape should go to which slot i.e tape to slot1 etc.. ?

I appreciate y'r help.

I will summarize
