Rob, Are your 55 clients regular clients? or, are you doing LAN-free backups? Are you using disk pools? Can you elaborate a little bit on your environment? If your 55 clients are using dsmc schedule for their backups, you probably want to use a disk pool, then you will not have any conflict with all client sessions writting to the disk pool. Once the disk pool passes the High Mig Pct threashold it will start moving data to tapes.
