What we found was that, after having run a COPY STGPOOL and then shipping the new tapes offsite, if we started reclamation it tended to recopy the very volumes that we had just created and vaulted. Our vault had grown to some 700-800 volumes. With weekend-only reclamation the pool grows to around 400 volumes by Friday but then drops back down to around 100. This is with some 60 clients, all collocated. Take a hard look at your reclamation cycles and what volumes are being used for input.

We also only send out full tapes to avoid sending out tapes to often. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Howell Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 2:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: tape use question How often are you doing reclamation on your vault pool? We used to do reclamation daily and found ourselves in a similar situation. We changed to only reclaiming once a week and like that much better. ####################### Joe Howell Shelter Insurance Companies (573)-214-6534 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Giglio, Paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> 02/17/2005 01:40 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> To [email protected] cc Subject tape use question Just a quick question to the experienced TSmers out there Does anybody have any idea or suggestions on how we can slow down our tape usage.
