I run backups and archives to the same storage pools.  I used to run b & a
to separate pools but I combined them when the server (MVS) was upgraded to
V2.  I find it easier to manage the server with fewer pools.

If we ever start doing space management I will start out with separate
pools for it.

Here's one for the collected wisdom of this list:

Is there any reason or advantage for keeping backup and archived files
in different storage pools?

By default ADSM installation sets up a disk backup pool and a seperate
archive pool. Can one pool be used for both? Is there a downside to
doing it?
