I did try it and it does move a lot faster..  So this has nothing to do
with the fact that my diskpool is on a SAN drives right?  So keeping data
on diskpool is not a good idea in small installations?  I was told by
Tivoli techs to try and keep a couple of days of backups on disk if
possible to speed up restores...  Is this not a good idea?

Thanks for the help,

Etienne Brodeur

When the primary location of a file is in a primary DISK random access
storage pool, then this is "working as designed." (That's the answer we
got
from Tivoli)  In this case the reclamation task processes 1 file at a time
per transaction. When the primary storage pool is a SEQUENTIAL media
(either
tape or FILE) then the files are batched up by the
MOVEBATCHSIZE/MOVESIZETHRESH parameters. Move the files to a SEQENTIAL
primary pool before running reclamation.
