My advice would be to not collocate your copy storage pools. This way, you
use far less tapes for your copies.

More tapes required than space in library






Dear list,
I can foresee that I will need more tapes than the space of library at any
point
in time in few days.

I am using collocation and there will be atleast 15 tapes required for
normal
operations at any one night. I have a total space of 23 volumes in
library. How
do I cope with the situation when I would need to backup the primary
storage
pool and dbbackups for DRM, i.e. I would need atleast 31 tapes at a time
in
library for DRM purposes.

Please discuss !!!

Sandra
