Hello List.
 
I have a VERY basic question regarding media operations.  NBU 6.5.2a W2K3 x64 master+media, SSO, NDMP.  There is a single Tape Library w/ 4 LTO-4 Drives.
 
Let’s say I have a policy to backup a server, and want to make an additional copy to offsite.  I understand that I need to have:
 
Volume Group for Offsite Volumes
Volume Pool for Offsite Volumes
>>Correct

In the policy, I can just create multiple copies in different Volume Pools.
>>In 6.0, this feature is not available with NDMP.  I’m curious to know if it’s really available with 6.5.2...

Is there a way to automate the ejection of the offsite volumes without the Vault Option?
>>Yes.  The primary commands needed are bpmedialist, vmquery and vmchange.  You’re on Windows but I have a Korn shell script I could send you to get the idea.

On another note, read in a previous post that NBU Enterprise Base allows for vault operations for up to 4 drives.
>>Can’t comment on this.

Is there a good document that anyone could suggest reading for an overview of media operations?
>>Admin Guides I & II, Commands reference

Thanks.
