Hello Tim, A random storage should be considered as temporary storage. This type of pool that can accept an almost unlimited number of client, it facilitates backups sequense Typically, it must be large enough to accommodate the daily backup. During the maintenance plan, it must be emptied on a sequential storage pool (tape or VTL). To answer your question, name meaning, the two types of storage pool have different uses.
The use of a random pool without emptying induced term loss of performance: storage ultimately becoming a great Gruyere cheese.

It appears to me that a non vtl system would not require the daily reclamation process and also allow for more client backups to occur simultaneously.
