Just have it expire after a days time, the data will still be on the tape
but no longer in your catalog, you can even probably have the image set to
expire immediately. 

How is the customer going to get the data off the tape? Do they have
netbackup or are they planning on just using tar to retrieve the data?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] One-off backups

We're starting to get requests to create one-off backups to a tape that
we can eject from our library and hand to a customer.  What's the
recommended way of doing this?  We're running Solaris 9, NBU 4.5FP6, and
and have the Vault option.  Once we've handed the tape to a customer, we
don't need (or want) the catalog information for this, nor do we want
the tape in any pool.  Basically we want to write the tape and then
forget we ever saw it.  If it makes a difference, we would be writing
to an SDLT tape drive in an L700 library.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
