I understand your point but my issue is that I have to make it work with what I have. Being short of resources is a fact-of-life for me.
It is going to have to go directly-to-tape. Now way around it. I am just trying to figure out how to make it perform, the best. Besides, I don't think it is reasonable to expect to have 1TB of landing-zone just in case you might hit that mark (or higher) once a week while the rest of the week I mostly have 200-300GB used, daily. Not going to happen. I have been asking for more tape drives (only 4-3590E and 2-LTO shared among 3-TSM servers with 100+ clients including the weekly 400GB notes backups) for more than a year and should finally get 4-more 3490E (ATL) drives. We are a poor university ! Thanks for your help.

It depends upon what you mean by "reasonable". I've got a customer that sets their first level of storage pool "overflow" to 20GB, and a second level of 200GB. >I still don't/won't have enough disk space to handle something >like this ! > The backup stream would overrun the disk landing-zone (200GB) >way before it has a chance to dump it to tape ! This is a situation where you appear to not have enough resource to handle the load you're being asked to handle. A well-built TSM system should have enough disk storage pool to handle a full two days of backups. (After all, your library might be down for as long as 48 hours waiting for parts.) Disk is cheap(er) these days. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berbee Information Networks Office 262.521.5627
