Ummmmmmm....................Buy more tapes ?

We ran for a long, long time with over 400 tapes assigned to a 3583-L72.

Yes, it is an administration headache, but it works (and is much cheaper
than buying a disk farm).

But, if you have the money for a disk farm, go for it.  Really depends
upon your needs

[ADSM-L] 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
