I'd like to ask everyones opinion.
How long are you keeping your volhist for? I am currently keeping ours for 60 days since that is how long the previous TSM admin kept his for. Until I started running short of scratch tapes, I didn't really see a need to change it. At $3000 for a box of 100 LTO3 tapes, its starting to be a cost vs. reward problem. Our SLA for restores is 45 days and we do off-site tapes, but currently do not archive anything. I have 12 TSM servers and on average cut about 25 DB Backup tapes per day.
Thanks and your opinions are greatly appreciated.
