If you have a SCRATCH POOL configured, then any tapes that have expired,
would return to this pool.
Its possible, the tapes are in the pool, but have no images (have expired).

Also, depending on how your jobs are configured, it may be that many tapes
have live images on them, and have yet to expire. Depending on how the
retention periods are configured.

Using the report tool "Media Lists", will show you what tapes have images
on, and when they are due to expire. You may also see tapes that are
suspended or frozen for that matter.

Vmquery will give you a report of ALL tapes netbackup knows about.

I need to order some tapes but I want to account for all of the tapes I have
before hand.  I've got about 230 LTO-3 in my hand kept inventory but when I
run a media list  report from Netbackup it states I only have 120 tapes.

Anyone have a clue as to what happened to the other 130 tapes?  I know they
are either in the library or offsite but since the media report does not
list those 120 tapes I don't know if they are expired.  I suppose I can
assume so but I'd like to understand why they are not in the media report
first.
