I haven't tried this setup but that makes sense.  So you would ensure
MAXNUMP would be equal to the number of backup sessions you wanted. (You
want to update MAXNUMP for restores anyway when restoring from file device
class.)

I asked the presenter of the Disk Only Backup Technical Exchange about
collocating file stgpools and he said it made no sense.  I tend to agree.
