But of course we would all still love for Tivoli to publish a white paper on "tape-less" TSM with recommended best practices. Especially the disk vs. file question, which has never been definitively answered by Tivoli and has about equal numbers of fully convinced people in each camp.

This is now 3TB and can grown up to 7TB. Incremental backup is appr 300GB/night. But I have some questions? - What kind of disks should I use? (the customer has a FastT from IBM with fiber disks, but he wants a cheaper solution) - What kind of raid level as protection? Raid5, JBOD, Raild 0+1, ... ?? - Should I use a DISK type or FILE type storage pool? Thx. Stef
