The big catch is that the "drive" supports encryption, but you have to have
something to make it encrypt. If you have an IBM 3584 library, then you can

In 4.5, 5.0, and 5.1, if the tape started in the pool designated as the
"scratch pool", then it will automatically go back when it expires.
The pool has to be designated as the scrach pool.
When you need a tape, 4.5-5.1 will pull a tape from the scratch pool and use it.

I don't know why this is happening, but to test if it is a media server issue

You can put both in the same library. I have IBM 3584 with both LTO-2 and
LTO-3, same partition. I have done ADIC i2K with both in the same partition.
Same for ADIC i500. If the library can support it, NetBackup will use it.
The different drive types will automatically create a new volume gr
You are about 12 tape drives short for backing up that number of clients with
SQL and Oracle and 250 clients.
If your datamover can back up straight to tape, you are much better off
attaching it direct and getting the NDMP agent.
You will be in a constant fight to get your backups done.

Put the second copy into a seperate Volume Pool when you set up the multiple
copies.

Can 5.0 or 5.1 support LTO-4 in the LTO-4 mode to utilize encryption? It is
not a choic in the definitions of tape drives, so how could it be supported?
Anyone using LTO-4 with encryption yet?
How would you transfer the encryption keys to NetBackup as a DR or altenate

I have used LTO-2 media in the LTO-3 drives. It works just fine, but the LTO-3
drive has to be set up to (defined in NetBackup) as an LTO-2 drive. Just make
the HCART designations match.
It may also help if you have to restore an "old" tape and only have the LTO-3
drives.

I have the both in the same library at multiple locations. If you define them
