Hi Bill, Could it be possible that you defined a very low "maximum size threshold" on your disk pool, that would force data migration to tape ? My 2 cents ... Cheers.

My server is AIX 5.1.6.2. and most of the windows clients are running at 5.1.5.9. The clients are associated to a management class that's default management class should cause the backups to go to the disk storage pool. There is a management class within the domain that directs the backups to the tape pool, but I do not have it included in the dsm.opt file, in fact I do not have any management class defined, meaning that it should go to the default. Has anyone experienced this problem? Also, I tried an incremental of the c drive with the disk storage pool empty and it's estimated capacity is 38 gb and it still called for a tape. The capacity of the c drive of the client is under 1.5 gb. Thanks, Bill Sherrill
