It is right if you have 50 tapes in the tape pool. If you have only 20
tapes, TSM is fortunately not going to save 20 clients and let the others
unsaved, it will put several clients on each tape.
For example, I use TSM to backup several portable computers, each has about
2 gb to save, I wouldn't
Ok, now I understand what you meant. One solution would be to have two tape
pools : one containing 20 tapes for you 50 clients, and one with 1467

it is the only solution I can imagine. But still it is not the diskpool

due to concepts used Raid5 is the slowest solution available for sequential

So, do you have multiple tape pools? and multiple offsite (copypool) tape

If you have 2 tapepools (primary) will 1 be collocate and 1 nocollocate?
and what happens the next day, does TSM pick up another 20 tapes for daily
backups? On the question of the copypools (secondary) I understand this is
for restoring the tapepool, but in our case it is also used for DR and DR

Works fine. I did move my entire stgpool from 3480 to 3590 tapes two years ago. The
operators love me now. We are using a 3494, and they no longer run their legs off.
In fact, I have two tape pools : one for the small clients and the other
one for the big clients. In your case, that's what I would do : one
tapepool with something like 5 tapes for the 90 clients backing up less
than 1 Gb (I am not sure for the number of tapes, it could be 3 like it
could be 10)
Due to some misunderstanding, an unnecessary 5 million files was backed up,
bloating our database by about 15 GB. I have since commenced deleting that
filespace, but it looks like the delete is not reducing the database size
nearly enough. So I am planning to do an unload/reload, and in order to

That's correct, changing the threshold does not effect the reclamation

it will start up again in a few minutes or less - the threshold is still there.
So, raise the threshold, then cancel the process to be sure tapes and
