Moving HSM backup to disk is just one option we are looking at, we are also looking at VTS which I think is going to be the best solution for us. I was told by our DASD vendor that HSM is architected to use tape for backup, and using disk can be harder to manage. To implement a VTS would mean a simple recycle to get the 'real tape' backups to virtual tape, but I would still prefer to get the VTS on the floor a few months ahead if we can and let the tape backups fall off the end, then recycle what is left.
