Farren - I think it would be healthiest to get deadwood out of your viable clients population. Create a DEFUNCT-CLIENTS storage pool, to remain fallow, and do a Move Data to transfer the tape-bound defunct clients data into it. You may or may not want to have the new stgpool collocated by node: I would tend to, which would ease management, but consider the tape costs. Richard Sims, BU
