Hi all,

I have a question about how to distribute vtapes on multiple non-raid disks: is there a best way to reduce the damages in case of loosing one disk? In a system where no raid is implemented, what is the best strategy to manage the vtapes?
What I mean is:

Is this configuration:

  * disk1: day01 day07 day13 day19 day25 day31
  * disk2: day02 day08 day14 day20 day26 day32
  * disk3: day03 day09 day15 day21 day27
  * disk4: day04 day10 day16 day22 day28
  * disk5: day05 day11 day17 day23 day29
  * disk6: day06 day12 day18 day24 day30

if you lose a disk, you might lose all full of a DLE, you will not be able to restore it.

 better than this one(?):

  * disk1: day01 day02 day03 day04 day05 day06
  * disk2: day07 day08 day09 day10 day11 day12
  * disk3: day13 day14 day15 day16 day17 day18
  * disk4: day19 day20 day21 day22 day23 day24
  * disk5: day25 day26 day27 day28 day29 day30
  * disk6: day31 day32

if you lose a disk, you lose 6 days of backup, but you can restore an old copy of each dles.
