Hi Del! Your statement "Customer always have the option of not installing a fix release, and waiting for the next PTF or release of that Data Protection client" may be true in most cases, but not when new platform support is added. You don't have the option to wait for a new release because you can

We have always run IBM drives, and have never 'planned' for extra drives to allow for drive failure. I have just upgraded from 10 to 16 drives in the library, but that's a capacity and D/R issue. So far, I've had *one* LTO-2 drive fail such that it needed replacement in just under two years of use.

If you backup your data from a primary tape stgpool to a copy stgpool you can be sure that the data on the primary tape stgpool can be read. To verify that all tape data can be read you simply have to check if all primary tape data is on a copy stgpool. So a combination of query content (to know th
