Hi Jean! We are currently designing a new TSM environment with a disk-only implementation. Because of the risk of fragmentation, we decided to use pre-allocated file volumes. This prevents fragmentation, because the volumes are propperly reclaimed while the actual OS file is not physically relocated. Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
