One reason to turn on spooling even if you use disk storage for your 
volumes if you tend to have hosts that abruptly get pulled off the 
network during backups or otherwise have hiccups that cause backups to 
fail.  With spooling, you shouldn't get volumes filling up with backup 
data from the partially completed failed backups.
