Device pools can consist
of stand-alone drives, drives in single or multiple drive robotic
libraries, backup-to-disk folders, and removable backup-to-disk
folders.
Tape drives that are in a
cascaded drive pool are not available to be placed in another
device pool unless they are deleted from the cascaded drive pool
first.
