On a write operation, if the tape is non-robotic, it won't be selected for
more writes.  Once pulled from the library, the tape will only be requested
if there's a restore request that requires it.

Ok, so if you were to specify a pool 'Offsite' for duplicates of weekly 
fulls,
and send them off-site for two weeks, does the possibility exist that 
one of those
tapes would be called for the following week (assuming it wasn't full 
but the media
residence was changed via vmchange to reflect it was no longer in the silo)?

Thanks,

John
