I at one time had my primary backup pool go into a VTS. Mine is a 3494-B18,
older model. TSM likes to append to tape volumes until they are full. The
recall process to stage a virtual volume from tape back
backup my database to VTS, but my offsite I take a DB SNAPSHOT to a 3590
cartridge.

Shannon,
What was the reason for purchasing the VTL? I'd surmise it is probably to do tape
consolidation on your mainframe operations.
*caveat! I have not actually used a 3494 VTL*
Past posts here have indicated that TSM is not a good fit for the VTL because of the
overhead of staging data
it all
to native 3590 cartridges.
I backup my database to VTS, but my offsite I take a DB SNAPSHOT to a 3590
cartridge.
