Using spooling, then writing to disk, then migrating to tape is probably the easiest solution to the problem; a better one might be to create a multi-drive disk-based pseudo autochanger and use that as a first stage storage device. You won't need as much disk space as when spooling, and you could keep all clients files in their own volumes which might make troubleshooting the migration (which still _is_ largely untested I assume) easier. > Happy new year, people.
