I have an interesting situation.  I am coming into a NBU 6.5.3 environment 
where the current backup admin has several volume pools.  For example, he has 
set up the following:

- Exchange-Full
- Exchange-Diff
- Sharepoint-Full
- Sharepoint-Diff
- Oracle-Full
- Oracle-Diff

I would like to just narrow this down to two volume pools:
- Full
- Diff

The reason for the Full & the Diff volume pools is to have the data segregated 
by data retention.

His reason for not doing this is that he claims that if the volume pools are 
not segregated by Policy Type, the restores will not work properly even though 
the backup was successful.

Has anyone had any issues with not being able to do a successful restore when 
mixing policy types within a volume pool?

thanks.
