Question: when using a disk-based 'virtual tape changer', is there is any
point in using a holding disk? I understand that a holding disk is a
good idea
when using real tapes, as this helps in keeping the tape drive streaming --
that is the holding disk smooths out the 'bumps' in the actual
backup process.
AFAIK, when writing directly to tape - even virtual tape - only one
client can be dumped simultaneously. When dumping to holding disks,
several dumps can run in parallel.
