What about combining both worlds...have the DISK storage pool for your daily
backups to get the multi-session backups and faster backups, then migrate to
a FILE storage pool for retention. Now you'll get the multi-session restore,
less overhead than the large DISK pool, but still have to do reclamation.

Just substitute FILE for the onsite TAPE.

Yes, try again.  If it works it is a bug (don't tell IBM)!

If data is on a DISK device class and Tape (or file device class) you can
have 1 session from disk and other sessions from tape.

>And with DISK device class there is no multi-session restore.

Are you sure? I seem to recall using RESOURCEUTILIZATION to run a
multi-threaded restore or two from DISKPOOL.
