Hi

I am using that kind of setup in my LAB .... Its a Library with the
type=file, the tapes are files of 5GB that is on one disk and I have
another disk for my COPYPOOL (offsite) with tapes that are also files of
5BG..

Its working very good

Hello Everyone



  I have a question. I would like to make a disk onsite_tapepool with a
bunch of space I just inherited from a fastt.  It would be a poor man's
virtual tape library.  One of my concerns is well of course is this
possible, and second how would it create copies for offsite.  Has anyone
attempted this, or am I way off base.



Thank you in advance



Jim
