Keep in mind that TSM maintains a hierarchy of importance.
Restores are at the top of this hierarchy; a restore requiring a tape volume will stop
a process using that tape in order to get to it. Backups are at the bottom of this
hierarchy; a backup will wait (in MediaW mode) until all present processes use a tape
that the backup needs.
Normally, backups are first staged to disk; this helps ensure that tape reclamation
will not interfere with a backup.

Subject: Reclamation Questions
Can someone help me understand Reclamation?
1. When this process is under-way, can backups still run?
2. What about restores?
Is it possible to configure this process to be interrupted?
Thank you
