You would have to evaluate all policies concerning tape usage:
Collocation?
How many different copypools?
Retention?
Maxscratch numbers?

If you are having a shortage of tapes, you cannot slow down reclaim and
make sure expiration finishes.

Just a quick question to the experienced TSmers out there

Does anybody have any idea or suggestions on how we can slow down our
tape usage.
We are up to 70 tapes going out the door each day and its growing more
by the month.
We have 6 ,,3594 tape libraries , about 60 win NT servers 12 AIX boxes
not including a SP maxed out.
We find our self constantly running vault retrieve since the tape
shortage is getting worse by the day.
Any suggestions would help .

Thanks
