John,
If you are using special barcode sequence for the weekly backups then set up a
barcode rule (inventory, advanced); otherwise, what is the problem with letting
the tapes come from scratch and being put into the correct pool. They will be
assigned by pool name and retention.

Bobby and everyone,
My apologies on the misunderstanding. I had a couple of people ask for
a 5.x version also just for reference. The link is for a 5.x version
and not a 6.x.

Is there a reason you need to have specific media in certain pools?

Eventually in the future you will have to switch to higher rev of

Why don't start right from the start? It will spare you time and
headache of upgrading when to 6.5 and beyond eventually will hit EOL.
I have 3 servers running 6.5 and one, since yesterday, 6.
We have a great relationship with NetBackup support folks and engineers.
Much of this was built on the fact that when we upgraded from 5.1 to
