With NBU 6.0, you don't need to do anything special. Catalog tapes will be
taken from the Scratch pool if necessary and will be put back when they
expire. Your hot catalog backups have a frequency and retention just like
any other backup. As the images expire, the tapes go back to the pool
automatically - they're not "rogue" at all. You don't need to move them
around yourself - just let NetBackup do its thing.
