Richard, I have found that professors with research on toasted harddrives are very willing to wait an extra day or two to have me stage their backups from non-collocated tape (a false economy if there ever was one) to disk. Then tehy think that TSM is such a nobrainer as their drive is resotred in one easy stream.
