We have been looking at Virtual Tape Libraries and I have a few
questions to ask those who have used them.
1. Should you let the VTL make copies to tape or insist that a media
server write to tape. 
2. When you selected your VTL, how did you compare them? How did you
size the VTL you chose?
3. Why do some docs say sometimes restoring from tape can be faster than
restoring from the VTL.
4. How are you maximizing performance with VTL? What strategies are you
using for large amounts of data.
5. Does multiple streams still make sense?
6. What tools are you managing your VTL with?
