Hi Rusty, Within Netbackup the volume pool identifies a logical set of volumes by usage. Associating volumes with a volume pool protects them from access by unauthorized users, groups, or applications.
Media Manager (within Netbacckup) creates a volume pool, named "NetBackup", for NetBackup(as you mentioned). My recommendation is to create any or all volume pools first. Then as you add volumes, you can assign them to volume pools.

I would recommend creating a volume pool. Leave the NetBackup pool for the catalog tapes only. -Rusty -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wilkinson, Alex Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 7:47 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Volume Pools [recommendations please] Hi all, What is "best practice" with regards to Volume Pools ? We are thinking of using a single Volume Pool for all of our data tapes. Is it good practice to use the "Netbackup" Volume pool for this situation ? -aW _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu This email is for the intended addressee only.
