Gerald,
I use to work with Veritas, and I may soon be back in that boat..(not by
chioice)
You are correct , we wasted a lot of tape..
And the quick recovery time was dependant on the Offsite vendor returning
our media..
We set up our clients in different classes(TSM's version of stgpools &
schedules) they would dump their data to "the" diskpool and copy would take
place soon after. At the time we didn't have a way to collocate so the
data could span multiple tapes.. (Don't know what that is like today)
If client a needed a restore, client x,y and z's data would have to return
in order for us to get all the required data restored for client a ..
But this was a couple years ago~

Not specifically TSM question but more of a question to better
understand how to discuss pro's/cons to other competing products.
Since my background is all TSM, I'm curious on how the other competitors
handle media. Is my assumption correct that they waste a lot of tape
space? As far as I understand it, all these products do traditional
full/incremental type backups where each full and incremental "uses a
tape". Thus Server 1 would suck up 7 tapes in a week (1 full, 6
incrementals).
Is this true? Or can these products actually put 2 full's on a single
tape? Or multiple incrementals on a single tape?
