Thanks Gabriel

     I have 4 Nodes all NT and All Domino servers using TDP for Domino to
do so. I don't use collocation or archiving and use a direct to tape
methodology. Any recommendations???


TIA

Patrick

Patrick,

Is collocation turned on?
How many nodes do you back up?
What type of backup services are you providing? (i.e. TDP
LNOTES/MSSQL/DB2/ORACLE ) ??
How many primary  --to--->  copypools do you have on your TSM server?
Are you archiving?

Each of those could have an effect on why your tapes aren't  utilized the
way you would like them to be...
