Tape usage will "peak" only initially. Provided you stay on top on
expirations and reclaim storage for each of your tape pools - this includes
tape copy pools(which should be offsite). I run file expiration and RCLSTG
for each of my tape pools M-F. I do however have the use of an ATL. If you
have multiple nodes in a given domain consider collocation by node instead
of file space. Again - stay on top of expiration and RCLSTG's.

Yes, you will use more tapes. If you limit the number of tapes by setting
maxscratch lower, you can get the benefit of collocation and still use a
reasonable number of tapes. Read the Admin guide for a complete
description of collocation.
The default is collocate=no.

Subject: Questions from a newbie on Collocation
Will changing from collocation=yes to collocation=filespace greatly
increase
tape
usage.
If no parameter is set for collocation, does it default to no.
To start using collocate=filespace, all I have to do is update the
parameter?
