Yes, you would still get the multi-session backup, but only to the limit of your MAXNUMMP,right? What if you're running the FILE stgpool as collocated?

We are doing it more for fault tolerance. Our file storage pool is on a different disk subsystem. If there were major problems with that we could still do the nightly backups. Note that if you went directly to a File storage pool you would get multi-session backup also - you don't need a DISK pool for that. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Boyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 11:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: D2D on AIX 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
