Hi,

We use 2 copy pools - one for all backups (including tdp) and one for archives.

I don't think you want to combine your archive and backup copy pools.  It makes 
for a large copy pool which could impact your DR strategy - too many tapes to 
recall and too hard to find what's where.  in our case, our DR site only has a 
IBM3583 with 72slots and 2 x LTO.  Our primary site has a 3584 with 2 frames 
(600 slots - 6 drives).

I don't think you're wasting that much space keeping the pools separate.  Maybe 
a few tapes worth?  But reclamation should see that your tapes are used pretty 
efficiently.

Hi to all,

What is the best practice of using copy storage pool for offsite tapes?  In
our site, we used different copy storage pools for archive, backup and tdp
backups, but it too expensive in terms of media used.  Space reclamation
also takes all the drives if they are running on the same.  Can I use one
copy storage pool for all?  Any help from you is really appreciated.

Thanks
Zosimo Noriega
