    Don't go down that road. Netbackup is not built for that sort of micro management. Fill the robot with tape in one volume pool and let Netbackup take care of managing the tapes.

    This work best and is the easiest way to manage. To know Monday is on these 4 tape don't provide you with any benefit at all. Whenever you need to restore Netbackup consult it catalog to find the tape needed. Without a Netbackup catalog you won't be able to restore.
