Nor a device, nor a jukebox (unless partitioned),
nor a storage node can be part of 2 datazones and recovering data
from a tape from a datazone to an another implies you define
client twice (and using 2 client license), have same pool naming on
both env and you scan the tape (with or without rebuilding client file index)

As you described it, no other solution.
Maybe an iSCSI Tape defined from backup server and
iSCSI drive located on your wks ?
Just an idea, must check supported hw

Hi Thierry,

In this case, the local tape drive is connected to another legato
server.  Does this change things and/or make it easier?  I'm trying to
avoid paying extra licensing as it's just an annoyance to me, but not
annoying enough for us to warrant spending extra licensing dollars on
(i.e., my boss would likely laugh at me :) )
