Don't forget to take DB backups each day.

Also how big are the clients? and what is the nature of the client data?

Millions of small files are going to cause you big problems with this
setup.

I have read from the adsm.org archives on discussions about single-drive
libraries. These archives indicate that:

Setting up a weekly full backup on the weekend, w/weekday incrementals,
and doing an archive each month, should work, with much monitoring.

I am going to insist on getting some kind of diskpool to help in this
situation.

I need to make this work until we get an IT budget for new multi-drive
autoloaders.
