Running reclamation is not an issue. Generally I run it when my scratch
tapes go below my threshold limit.

Is BKPLTO4POOL stg pool is it a copy pool or primary pool?

Subject: [ADSM-L] Copypool storage pool questions

Each weekday morning we run the following command "backup stg
BKPLTO4POOL COPYPOOL_LTO3" to backup the data that has been backed up
overnight onto LTO3 tapes and then checkout these LTO3 tapes and send
them offsite. I have a reclaimation process running on a daily basis for
the COPYPOOL_LTO3 storage pool. However this process is using up scratch
tapes that are within the tape library at an alarming rate and I am
starting to run low on scratch tapes.



Am I doing something wrong?

Should there be a daily reclaimation process running on this offsite
tape storage pool?

Should these COPYPOOL_LTO3 tapes which are in the tape library be sent
offsite as well as the ones that are sent offsite on a daily basis?

What would happen if I deleted the data on one of these COPYPOOL_LTO3
tapes which are currently in the tape library?





Thanks & Regards

Paul
