Hi Ken
Basically, you want to avoid having an advanced file type device fill up;
when it does, backups stop. They don't crash-and-burn (as happens in other
backup software applications), but they do pause and wait for space to
become available in the AFTD. I'm not sure why staging didn't start when
you selected 'stage all save sets'. Maybe the AFTD was in a state where it
was waiting to satisfy the backup request, before beginning the staging
request. Yep, I know, you can have simultaneous writes (backups) and reads
(restores, clones, stages) from an AFTD.
So, you want to use the parameters you mentioned to start 'draining' backup
savesets from the staging device BEFORE it fills.
Please ask more questions.
Thanks!

Subject: [Networker] Staging question...
Hi...
I'm a newbie in regards to staging so I was wondering if you could
help.
We backup to disk and then plan to stage to tape. When an adv_file
backup disk device fills up, when would I expect
the staging to start? Is it based on the parameters set in the
customize/staging for high water , or which?
Today our adv_file device filled up 100%, and I did a 'start now'
for the 'stage all save sets' while the backup was running, but
nothing happened. I then stopped the backup and did a start now and
things are now staging.
How would this normally work? I.e. would I expect it to see high
water mark was exceeded during a file system check and THEN start
the staging?
Thanks in advance...
