Just curious what size of file volumes are you using? We were originally using 25 GB, and then I listened to the "Disk Only Backup Strategies" Technical Exchange where they recommended 2-4 GB volumes.

Funny, we set ours down to 25% as well just to see what would happen. This worked but we have since set all of the ATA Pools to 50% and we just leave them there. Theoredically what could happen is we could be wasting twice as much space but the fact is the volumes were going from 25% to 50% in a matter of days and when we looked at how many volumes were between 25% and 50% in our enviornment we determined there was no need to reclaim down that far. From all outword signs there was no issues with reclaiming down to 25% we just didn't think it was worth doing the extra work to get back such a small amount of disk. Disk is cheap, right! lol "Rushforth, Tim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: We've set ours at 25%. We are just piloting an all disk backup pool for some clients on one of our servers and for small files on another.
