A suggestion: Run a full archive of 3 clients each day for a month, so that you can spread out the 75 full backups. Set your archive management class to keep any given archive for a year. Send those archives to a (small) disk pool which in turn is migrated to an archive tape pool. Once a month check those archive tapes out and vault them. After a full 12 months in the vault, that month's tapes can come to the TSM server as scratch tapes. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) IBM Certified Advanced Deployment Professional Tivoli Storage Management Solutions 2005 IBM Certified Advanced Technical Expert (CATE) AIX Office 262.521.5627
