Hi Eliza! You do want several smaller files, rather than a few very large files because each client session will allocate a volume. File volumes cannot be used concurrently by more than one session. Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

Instead of adding another frame or upgrading to 3590H or 3592 tapes we are looking into setting up a bunch of cheap ATA disks as primary storage. The FILE devclass defines a directory as its destination and JFS2 has a max file system size of 1TB. Does it mean the largest stgpool I can define is 1TB? My Exchange stgpool alone has 8TB of data. Do I have to split it up into 8 pieces? server: TSM 5.2.2.5 on AIX 5.2 database 90GB at 70% Total backup data - 22TB Eliza Lau Virginia Tech Computing Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
