I am starting to play with the "stripe" function of the TDP for SQL. I got
to wondering...
If you have a database backed up directly to tape using 4 stripes... you
need 4 tape drives to do that.. and, 4 tape drives to do a restore. I got
that much...
But..
What happens if, by reclamation process, two or more of the "striped"
portions of the backup get reclaimed onto the same tape? Will TSM allow
that to happen? if so, how do you do a restore? Any other gotchya's out
there?
