Remember that LAN-free backups are often no faster than 100MB/1GB Ethernet LAN-based backups. (In a few cases they will actually be slower.) LAN-free is really a good option only when your LAN network is too congested for timely backups, or you want to guarantee that all of a given node's backups go to tape. If you're using LAN-free backups with the purpose of sending them directly to tape, that might also be done by use of the MAXSIZE parameter in your disk storage pool, or by clever use of storage pools and management classes. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior TSM engineer
