I never fully understood and therefore trusted these options ;-)

What I try:

storage1 should leave the lev0 backups in the holding disk after writing 
to tapes in pool1

storage2 should be allowed to remove them when written to the tapes in pool2

Maybe it's too complicated to define 2 policies for the 2 storages, 
that's what I try to find out currently.

I flush stuff to storage2 right now and it seems to work as intended.

Can't confirm your observation though, would have to test that in detail.

thanks!
