Like so much of ADSM, Move Data is itself incremental. You could thus
approach the task in pieces, by invoking a Move Data to the disk storage pool,
cancel the process just before the disk fills, move that disk data to another
tape; lather, rinse, repeat. But tell your budgeter that the folks on ADSM-L
say that you should have another tape drive, which over time will be cheaper
than all the personnel time being spent compensating for the absence of it.
