Hello, memories of the times when tape drives were horribly expensive and one could only afford 1 drive. Create a diskpool, add that pool as reclamationtarget in the tapepool and let the reclamation work. Size the diskpool accordingly to hold all data. After the tape is empty, start a migration of the diskpool back to the tapepool.
Same scheme applies for a VTL, but for a higher price.
