Hello, We have such a solution in a software (add-on that we sell). Backups are stored on disk and we use LTO (3580 and 3581) or SDLT. Its name is SOS-MB (Medium Business) But ... it's in French. So we can answer to your questions about implementation and TSM parameters. It works fine. In some cases, it's also a solution for people working with "TSM with library & 1 drive".
