I have no absolute answer readily at hand. I suspect that the SETSYS TAPEDELETION is set such that tapes freed up by recycle are reused automatically, thus I would add the additional volumes as backup.
However, RTFM for confirmation. <snip> We have no choice in this matter. We inherited the client and they had pooling set up already. My question about adding volumes to the pool do I need to add it as BACKUP or SPILL? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
