I have used MOVE NODEDATA and included all nodes associated with a particular non-collocated tape pool, the advantages are obvious.
Is there any advantage in using MOVE NODEDATA with co-located nodes ? Is there any advantage in using MOVE NODEDATA over reclamation for co-located nodes ?

Rather than force full backups (with all the traffic and tape issues that entails, try using the MOVE NODEDATA command to periodically move all of a node's data to one (or more tapes). -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berbee Information Networks Office 262.521.5627
