I am new to using netbackup and have recently been tasked with completing the 
setup of a new windows based environment.  I have however been having issues 
with with the rotation of tapes in that.  The backup have been configured to 
create two copies off all backups, one copy is sent to the onsite pool, the 
other to offsite. Tapes are then ejected using a vault policy.  The tapes 
offsite are on a two weekly cycle (monday1, monday2 etc) and are configured 
with a two week retention period.  The issue I am having is that, when the 
tapes come back from offsite storage and be re-inventoried back into the 
library to be re-used, at the point where they reach expiration date\time, the 
tapes are moved back into the scratchpool.  I do not want this to happen as it 
makes management of the media very difficult with the 3rd party tape storage 
comany. What I really need is for the tapes to be moved back into the offsite 
pool so that the same tapes are used as the tapes that were used at th!
 e previous point in the tape cycle.  I am more familiar with using bakupexec 
and never had a problem however having difficulty doing the same i netbackup, 
is the above by design or am i missing something (likely)?

Thanks
