Hi Rusty,

Within Netbackup the volume pool identifies a logical set of volumes by
usage. Associating volumes with a volume pool protects them from access by
unauthorized users, groups, or applications. 

Media Manager (within Netbacckup) creates a volume pool, named "NetBackup",
for NetBackup(as you mentioned). 

My recommendation is to create any or all volume pools first. Then as you
add volumes, you can assign them to volume pools.

I have been looking for Volume Pool best practices as we are also going from
multiple single volume pools to one large one, but I can't find much of
anything published.

I would recommend creating a volume pool. Leave the NetBackup pool for the
catalog tapes only.

Hi all,

What is "best practice" with regards to Volume Pools ?

We are thinking of using a single Volume Pool for all of our data tapes. Is
it good practice to use the "Netbackup" Volume pool for this situation ?
