If you look through your activity log you will see when the disk storage pool fills up it will automatically get migrated to tape based upon the low and high water migration values.
Ideally you would like to have enough disk space to backup all your clients to disk w/out triggering a migration until the end of the backup processes have completed. -- Joshua S.

Is there any way to tell when a backup session that would normally go to disk is instead forced to tape because there is not enough room left in the disk storage pool? Are there any server side (or client side) messages that identify this condition? David
