Richard,

Wow! You have "advantageous times" - emphasis on the plural?!?!  hehe

Seriously, I recently "lucked out" and got my DBA group to schedule
backups around a daily maintenance schedule - it only took 7 months of
pleading and the implementation of a new DR process (thankfully mandated
from "above") to force the issue. I now have a single "advantageous
time" and things are running well.

we have a library with four DLT drives. During the expire inventory,

I'd like to keep two drives free for migration.
Is there a way of limiting the number of drives used by space
reclamation?

Stefano - You are letting your reclamations have their way with your
server
          by virtue of not controlling the Reclamation Threshold value.
Keep it at 100% until you want Reclamation to occur, by storage pool,
which will then use two drives at a time.  Many of us use Admin
Schedules
to let reclamation run at advantageous times.
