Question:
I think about a huge diskpool without migration to tape.  Is there a
limitation on the size of the diskpools?

If not, are there things I have not thought about?

The backup-service is separated from the original data by a dedicated
building located 1 Km away from the original!
I think we have a lot of benefits:
*       quicker restores
*       no waiting for the availability of tapeunits
*       less administrative overhead
*       migration from disk --> tape
*       no reclamation
*       less processor use
*       the admininistrative window will decrease, so the backup window can
increase
*       no ATL
*       No tape-units
*       Easy exctending of storage capacity
*       ...........?

I am aware this is a strange idea, but why not?
