-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 More than one tape per pool is really all you need. I personally recommend 3, from personal experience, but I could not tell you why that is. Adjust your retention times on those tapes so that the first generation will be Used when it's time to use the second tapes (using VolumeUseDuration or something similar) and so that they'll be recycled again by the time they are needed on the third week. Basically, Monday-1 and Monday-2. The rest of the scheme is exactly the same.
