That's what we are doing. Our primary is a 6.4 TB VTL.
So far, it's working very well. Excellent performance.
Main concern is if the device fails, how long will it
take to restore all those terabytes of primary storage
from offsite volumes.

Subject: Library out of space. Time for disks?
Our IBM 3583 tape lib is out of space.
What do you think of this idea?
Acquire disk-based appliance i.e. 3 TB. Use it for primary. Use 3583 for
off site tapes only.
Please advise.
TIA
