Hi, basically, the only reason to use different storage pool at all are d i f f e r e n t requirements for handling the data. This can be different required degree of redundacy (one, two or three copies of each file), different storage locations, different requirements for time to restore, and so on..
If this is true, than you must use separate pools. If this is not true, you can use single storage pool as well, even single primary pool. I tend to use separate pools, because it leaves me more freedom for the future at the costs of slightly worse tape usage and more daily tape mounts. regards Juraj Šalak Asamer Familienholding G M B H EDV Unterthalhamstraße 2 A-4694 Ohlsdorf Österreich www.asamer.at Büro: +43 7612 799 529 Mobil: +43 664 528 6474 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Tim Melly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 3:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Archives, Storage Pools, and DR I currently have 2 primary storage pools, one for archives and one for backups. >From a DR standpoint, should I have both primary storage pools copy to a single copy storage pool or should I split them into two copy storage pools.
