Actually, the story I heard from Symantec/Veritas about the VTL support
under 6.x is that it will allow for automatic expiration of the VTL images
once they have been successfully duplicated to physical tape.  That's
similar to the current option in vault for images coming from a DSSU.    
 
We are currently using a script to expire our VTL images once we have them
dup'd.

Well that's unfortunate.
 
I guess there's something key, missing in tape emulation department.

Yes using as tape. All that works fine. But getting the images from the VTL
to tape is more challenging. I think netbackup 6.5 has full support for
VTL's and then I assume that the vaulting option will fully support VTL to
tape copying then. I was told that 6.5 is due out by the end of this year.
