Dear Mr. Boireau,

The way the connection between ADSM and BE works is just as you would
connect a Autoloader to the NT box directly. The fact that the system
seems to be scanning tapes before doing anything, seems to be because of
the fact that the target is the Autoloader with ADSM in between. It is
ADSM that mounts the autoloader because the primary pool is the
autoloader (?).My suggestion is to have a small diskpool (50 -100MB),
and then overflow to the autoloader. Let ADSM take care of mounting
tapes while the backup runs.
