Hi Tom, you leave us in darkness what your offsite pool exactly is. If it is a backup storage pool of your "onsite" pool, then yes, deleting onsite files will delete offsite files as well. Seems like what you want to accomplish is simply effectively turn co-location on, for new and for existing

Hallo Tomáš, you could use storage standard storage pool hierarchy, backing first to disk storage pool, which later migrates to primary tape pool (you probably already do this). If your disk storage pool is large enough not to be migrated for, say, couple of days, than you can schedule backup

up to my knowledge, TSM respects the limits of underlying file system. A years ago I had similar problem, it turned out to be caused by really too long names, too long in terms of NTFS. However, we were able to create such long names in NT with following scenario: mount a directory , e.g. c:\tmp
