Eric, What is the recommended volume size. I have seen someone mentioned 5G, but then the number of volumes will explode from about 800 (current # of 3590 primary tapes) to thousands.
How about keeping the staging space so clients backup to staging then migrate to FILE volumes. Then every volume will be filled up.
