[Veritas-bu] Anyone here use disk-to-disk-to-tape?

Say you have 4 clients, each have 10TiB of data on them.
For disk staging you only have 1TiB on each client.

When it gets to 98% of the total capacity of the staging area (default)-- 
shouldn't it pause, bleed to tape, delete the files on disk and then 
continue?

Instead, it keeps backing up the files to disk until the disk runs out of 
capacity, has anyone encountered this?

/dev/cciss/c0d0p2      55G   51G  627M  99% /local
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2      55G   51G  503M 100% /local
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2      55G   51G  311M 100% /local
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2      55G   52G  154M 100% /local
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2      55G   52G  7.1M 100% /local
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2      55G   52G     0 100% /local

And then..

About 10-15 seconds later..

/dev/cciss/c0d0p2      55G   18G   35G  34% /local

It starts deleting the files even though it has not yet written anything 
to tape?

With other backup SW-- it sticks to the settings you have it set 
to, e.g., 70% and then backup to tape, pause backup until it pushes 
all of the data off disk.  With NetBackup that is not the case, any 
ideas?

Justin.
