Just let the back-ups run over time to a non-collecated storage pool with quiet a lot of clients and you will see. It will spread over all the tapes in a storage pool.

How can 20Gb be spread over a lot of tapes? If your tapes are really that small consider a hardware upgrade. an option to consider is image backup (when you have bigger tapes) this will not help you with single file restores but in case of total disaster it will be time saver (and job maybe). one scenario could be do a image backup every week or so to tape do normal inc to a disk-library.(device class disk) so no long search and mount times. (also not so secure maybe but thats why you have you image backup on offsite tape) Remember that (to my knowledge but not sure have to look it up) you can't get single files back from an image backup so you need both.

Hi TSM-ers,
How do you backup your server based Windows user profiles?
I have to backup a W2K server with a 160GB disk where the Windows XP User profiles are stored - about 1.5 million files and 20GB. These files have spread over a lot of tapes - a restore of a user profile just took 4 hours due to mount wait and tape positioning time. Node Collocation is enabled - filespace collocation wouldn't help as this node has only one filespace.
I will give Richard Sims suggestion on how to create a VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT on Windows a try. Or has anyone else found a way how to backup and restore user profiles efficiently?
Client: 5.1.5 on Microsoft W2K cluster Server: 4.2.2.8
