Separating filled tapes

You may want to separate filled tapes from incomplete ones. Let's assume you want the tapes filled over a month to be taken to an off-site location. To do this:

1. Create a custom tape pool (for example, Filled tapes).
2. Create another custom tape pool (for example, Current tapes). In the pool settings, select the When tape is full, move to pool check box and select the Filled tapes pool in the list.
3. Create a vault, and associate it with the Current tapes pool.
4. When creating a backup plan, choose the created vault as the backup destination.
5. Once a month, eject tapes stored in the Filled tapes pool and take them to an off-site storage.
