Hi Rob, I believe that the primary storage pools should have a reuse parameter of 0 and your reuse delay should be the same retention as the database backup retention so that you can go back in history. I believe that there is supporting info. within the TSM Admin Guide that should detail this info. concerning storage pools. Hope that helps!
