Our daily incremental backups are defined to the default mgmt class with the Backup Settings pointing to a disk storagepool. Recently noticed that the backups appear to be writing directly to tape. (I presume this has always done this, I only noticed it recently).
In this example, if I search the actlog for the session id of the backup I can see requests for tape mounts.

If I check via the java GUI for a restore, the backed up files are in the 'DEFAULT' mgmt class (which is diskpool) so I can't account for the tape mounts.
I am more familiar with managing AIX clients and have never seen this kind of behaviour, so I suspect it may be peculiar to Wintel servers.
In this config I am running TSM v5.5 Server on AIX with the clients running at v5.4 on Windows 2002 sp2 or 2003.
