Hi, I do archiving some critical data. For this purpose I have created a primary tape archvepool and a copytape pool for the backup of the archived data. The tapes in the primare pool are checked out after they have been updated with status set to unavailiable. The archive last for 365 days. This leaves me with a box of tapes that isn't used really. My question is, is it recommended to reuse the tapes for other purposes that origin from the primary tape pool for my archivation. Like relabelling and then use them in my daily backups. I assume that the tapes that I will be use for a retrieve will be the ones in the copy pool. In addition DRM is handling the copytape pool for my archives.... Any tips is appreciated.
