>Daily Incrementals:
>NT Fileserver:   3GB office documents           (in total)
>  WinLaptops:   8 x 300MB office documents (in total)
>   AIX Server:   1 GB    home directory           (in total)
>keep 3 copies of each file (daily change approx 100MB max per day)

>From time-to-time I would require archiving up to about 5GB data
>I have seen a list of supported devices for ADSM NT servers but there
>are too many !

>Requirements:
>Must be supported on a ADSM NT server
>Must be reliable
>Must be reasonably priced
>Must support DRM (eg at least one copypool, occasional DB backups)
>Requires minimum intervention from users to change tapes

>If I have 2 standalone drives (say 35GB DLT) can I make copypool backups

>Tape reclamation should be OK just drop the thresholds occasionally ?
>Are there any other gotchas ?
