This is the reason the usual way to configure TSM is to have clients backing up to the diskpool, then have the diskpool migrate to a tape pool. That way you can back up more clients at once than you have tape drives.

I have about 55 servers sharing four tape drives. Although there might be 10 sessions going at once, only 4 are doing any work. Is there any way to get multiple backup sessions to write to a single drive concurrently. I know that there is excess capacity on throughput to the drives and to the TSM server, so I know the infrastructure could handle a larger load. Can TSM? Rob Schroeder Famous Footwear
