Re: [ADSM-L] HELP!! TIPS on freeing up library slots

Are you running backups, directly to tape, in the same storage pool
where you are seeing the "filled" volumes?
I have an issue, with my SQL DB backups, that results in the same
situation. Because of their size, they go directly to tape. Due to the
available backup window, I am forced to back them all up at roughly the
same time. This generally leads to a each backup going to a separate
tape.
To help rectify the situation, I have a little ksh script that
consolidates the "filled" volumes.
