     I have some clients (Windows 2000) that are backing up straight to my
tapepool instead of the disk pool.  My server is AIX 5.1.6.2.  and most of
the windows clients are running at 5.1.5.9.  The clients are associated to
a management class that's default management class should cause the backups
to go to the disk storage pool.  There is a management class within the
domain that directs the backups to the tape pool, but I do not have it
included in the dsm.opt file, in fact I do not have any management class
defined, meaning that it should go to the default.  Has anyone experienced
this problem?  Also, I tried an incremental of the c drive with the disk
storage pool empty and it's estimated capacity is 38 gb and it still called
for a tape.  The capacity of the c drive of the client is under 1.5 gb.

Thanks,
Bill Sherrill
