Hi TSMers,
We have a onsite data of more than 60TB on tapepools. We need access to this data all the time.
Currently we backup directly to tapepools without going to diskpool ->migration-> tapepool.
Reason is to keep similarly named files like file.1,file.2,file.3 .... file.9 stored on tape sequentially so that during restores (which happens all the time), we can restore file.* and the tape head never has to seek backwards. (13MB/s restore speeds ...)
Anyways, I was pondering over the scenario where I backup to diskpool and them migrate to tapepool . Will the __sequence__ of files on tape be same as they were on disk before migration ?
Thanks for your comments in advance.
