Vault FULL tapes

We would like the option to vault only FULL tapes for given volume pools please.  Having read a number of forums I believe there's quite a call for this which should be relatively easy to implement as a tick-box option within the vaulting profile.

Without this option we are stuck purchasing many more tapes than we need for given departmental/customer pools or running out of space on our library and then manually ejecting tapes that are not part of the regular vaulting policy because they don't fill up quickly enough to need to be vaulted daily.

though it is not always good

though it is not always good idea to eject only FULL tapes(in case of Disastor), but i belive there is always better if Netbackup admin have a option to choose if he would like to eject only FULL or based on treditional way..

I absolutely agree - I would

I absolutely agree - I would want this to be an option rather than a standard.  I would see myself running a standard daily vault for tapes that require offsiting, but a seperate vault policy to just kick full tapes from other volume pools out of the library to make space.
