Accelerator for Netbackup

Hello I have been trying to find this answer but to no avail.  The questions are: Should NBU policies that utilize the Accelerator option have the same retention for the Full and Incremental backup...

    A duplication of accelerator backup jobs will be full volume on tape. 

    e.g 

    full backup - on disk 20G - on tape 20G

    incremental  - on disk 500MB - on tape 20G

    incremental - on disk 100MB - on tape 20G

    Because of this there is no difference in how accelerated backup on disk behave and non-accelerated backups on tape behave. When ever data from a accelerated disk pool is moved "outside" the disk pool, Netbackup will move all data for that backup image to ensure data integrity. 

    Hope I have explained comprehensible :-)
