Oh how I wish this were possible. I have submitted this requirement to Tivoli and I believe others have also.
We are currently using LTO tapes (100 GB uncompressed), it is just not economical to only put 1 backupset per tape. If enough people submit this requirement to Tivoli perhaps they will listen.

I have 5 servers that I am creating backup sets on a daily basis (collocation is turned on, and I have 10 drives, so the creation time frame is pretty fast). But can I bundle all these servers onto a few tapes? My over all goal (when Tivoli fixes the backup set option and adds the ability to drill down the backup set with the gui) is to use backup sets in place of monthly archives. I don't know about anyone else, but I am unable to perform my daily backups during an archive weekend. Changing to Backup Sets will fix this problem. Joe Cascanette The Cumis Group Limited
