Just curious. ... We have all disk storage pools using a single tape pool as
the 'next pool'.

If the pools have significantly different sizes of data, does it make sense
to have multiple
'next pool's of tapes.  One for very large files (like TDP for Mail files)
and another for 'smaller'
files?  We have fairly large tapes (LTO-1's) so it seems like we are doing
recovery forever.

second idea:
I was even toying with the idea of having multiple disk pools, with size
restrictions on the
first pool, so big files go to the second.  both would still backup to the
same tape pool.

Suggestions for a best practice?

... TIA ... Jack
