    That's not what I meant.. 

    Basically vault uses storage unit and sees how many drives it can use. If you give it a storage unit of 4 drives, it will use all 4 of them.  You can setup 4 different storage units:

    1, stu1 with 1 drive
    2. stu2 with 2 drives

    3. stu3 with 3 drives
    4. stu4 with 4 drives

    You can use any of them, but problem is to switch them around for different time. In weekend you might want to use stu2 & stu3, and weekday stu1, but you have to keep changing your policy - or you can setup more policies.

    My point is that rather than keep changing or creating more policies, stick to 1 policy that provides the optimal level of usage to both your drives and tapes. Find the best storage unit for your vault job and use it in long term.
