What about combining both worlds...have the DISK storage pool for your daily backups to get the multi-session backups and faster backups, then migrate to a FILE storage pool for retention. Now you'll get the multi-session restore, less overhead than the large DISK pool, but still have to do reclamation.
Just substitute FILE for the onsite TAPE.

If it works it is a bug (don't tell IBM)! If data is on a DISK device class and Tape (or file device class) you can have 1 session from disk and other sessions from tape. -----Original Message----- From: Stapleton, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 9:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: D2D on AIX From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rushforth, Tim >And with DISK device class there is no multi-session restore. Are you sure? I seem to recall using RESOURCEUTILIZATION to run a multi-threaded restore or two from DISKPOOL. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berbee Information Networks Office 262.521.5627
