Thanks. That sounds like a good plan. Thats interesting about using the disk
for quicker restores during the day.
I guess I should run some kind of weekend reclaim plan too. I can't seem to
keep the other pools from eating all of my scratch tapes. Do you run a
script on the weekend that drops your reclaim down to 10 or something like
that?
