Hi all,
     searching the 'net for how to setup a one-tape-per-day schedule, I 
found in many places the suggestion to set the Volume Use Duration 
parameter to 23 hours. If I remember correctly, these are counted from 
the "last written" timestamp of the tape.
So my question is: shouldn't this value take into account the time it 
takes for the backup to complete (otherwise subsequent backups are 
delayed until the previous day's tape becomes 'used') ? Is it correct to 
set it to something like 12 hours to remain on the safe side ?

Thanks.
