Hello,

memories of the times when tape drives were horribly expensive and one could
only afford 1 drive. Create a diskpool, add that pool as reclamationtarget in
the tapepool and let the reclamation work. Size the diskpool accordingly to
hold all data.
After the tape is empty, start a migration of the diskpool back to the
tapepool. 

Same scheme applies for a VTL, but for a higher price.
