We only do incrementals, but we do use copypools.  Copypools allow you
     to have multiple copies of the data on the ADSM server.

We are about to Trial ADSM and I am struggling with the ADSM Paradigm
of "incremental backup forevever".

I understand the concepts of ADSM and how this is possible.  One of my
concens would be relying on only one copy of a file on tape with this
apporach.

I am interested in how current users of ADSM perform their backups.

Do you do any full backups?
If so, do you route these backups to different tapes?
etc.

Thanks for any information.
