In my opinion, you can get great performance with LTO3 and aplications like db2, Oracle, SAP, Domino, Exchange, etc. It is a good idea if you want to backup big files. I don't recommend you if you want to backup fileservers. I have found differents performance. The best one was 1,5 TB y 1:30 mi

We manage everything with TSMManager. With it, we can easily move tapes to an "onsite vault" (i.e. a physical shelf in our onsite vault). We go through the list of tapes and pick ones that are 100% full, and eject them. If a tape is needed for reclaimation, a mount request comes up, which TSMMa
