We run multiple tape pools/copy pool pairs, one for each retention range in an effort to reduce reclamations.

I don't see polls very much (don't believe I have seen any), in the three years I have been on this list but they are pretty popular on others. From time to time I have questions that really aren't problems, but more that I want to know if the things that I am doing are "common practice" or how many others are doing the same things. I know everyone is busy, so to the point. Do you run more than one tape/copypool? If so, how many more? Ours: 2 tapepools 2 copypools With DRM we have the standard tapepool with a copy to the copypool. I while back we had discussed needs for a second tape/copy pool for a much smaller group of backups with different management class and retention settings. This will put me with two tape and two copy pools in the same library with the copypools being offsite of course. Anyway, if everyone feels against polls let me know and I guess this will be my first and last one. Thanks, Mark Bertrand
