And if you have 15 clients and are collocating your primary tape pool, you still don't need to use 15 tapes. If you set maxscratch to 8, TSm will stack your clients 2 per tape. You get most of the benefits of collocation, but can support more clients than you have slots in the library.

This way, you use far less tapes for your copies.

I am using collocation and there will be atleast 15 tapes required for normal operations at any one night. I have a total space of 23 volumes in library. How do I cope with the situation when I would need to backup the primary storage pool and dbbackups for DRM, i.e. I would need atleast 31 tapes at a time in library for DRM purposes. Please discuss !!! Sandra
