Hi, The reuse delay is a protection against overwriting volumes in case of a disaster (in this case losing you ITSM database and having to restore it). The reuse delay should be as long as your database back-up retention. In real life, I use a reuse delay of 1 day for the primary tapepools and 2 days for copypools. In case of having to restore the ITSM database I can get back 1 day without restore/auditing the primary tapepools and 2 days with auditing these tapepools. Regards, Karel ps. Having been hit by a database restore and a reuse delay of 0, I sleep a lot better with this config.

Thanks!
