One of my clients has installed the Storage Solutions ABC Client for OpenVMS
(v 1.2-6d).  I have absolutely no experience of VMS or this client so I'm
struggling here.  We have configured the option files and the client is
talking to the server OK.

I have setup the copy groups so that the destination is a 4gb disk storage
pool.  The next storage pool is a 3494 tape pool.

When he attempts an incremental backup (of less than 4gb worth of data) the
session ignores the disk pool completely and attempts to mount a tape
volume.  We are not keen on this since we have limited mount points.  When I
remove the tape pool from the hierarchy the client complains that there is
not enough storage (I can't get hold of the exact message at this time).

I understand that normal ADSM clients send a size estimate to the ADSM
server.  This client communicates via the API, are size estimates used?

Any ideas how I can get this client to backup to the disk storage pool?

Richard.
