Richard,

just to be more precise about your previous mail.

Do you actually keep 2 copy storage pool? One offsite and on onsite?
I'm using 3590 which never let me down and offsite, for me, means just
another building (being the campus quite wide!). So I can get hold of the
copy tapes in minutes.

Apart from Murphy laws ... aren't 2 copy excessive? There are indepth
reasons to have a Local Copy?

Thank you

Mauro, STM
