We have a small installation here - TSM server running on a Win2k machine with one (manual) SDLT tape drive. Everything gets backed up and stays on the primary diskpool (no primary tapepool and no migration), and there's a nightly backup of the primary stgpool to the copypool on tape (as well as a nightly database backup to tape). Recently I started running reclamation for tape volumes of the copypool, by marking tape access as Offsite, which causes TSM to reclaim data from the primary diskpool. The problem is that this process takes forever (am not sure why) and ties up our only tape drive. So actually now we are looking into adding a second tape drive and more tapes to the library. Niva

You make sure (100% sure) that all your backups fit in your diskpool, then, on a regular basis do a backups stg from diskpool to copypool, before you migrate from diskpool to primairy tape pool. You could run backup stg about once every 4 hours or so (or even more frequent) and migrate only once a day....
