Tape usage will "peak" only initially. Provided you stay on top on
expirations and reclaim storage for each of your tape pools - this includes
tape copy pools(which should be offsite).  I run file expiration and RCLSTG
for each of my tape pools M-F. I do however have the use of an ATL. If you
have multiple nodes in a given domain consider collocation by node instead
of file space. Again - stay on top of expiration and RCLSTG's.
