How big are the virtual tapes? A tape to tape copy on a VTL is going to run as fast as the slowest point, either the VTL or the TSM server.

For instance moving data around before you start reclamation? Does anyone have any ideas? The reason I am asking is that I am using a VTL, and to reclamate a single tape takes about 90minutes at 65%. I was just thinking is there away to help reclamation along Any Ideas or Comments are always appreciated Thank you James --------------------------------------------------------------- Confidentiality Notice: The information in this e-mail and any attachments thereto is intended for the named recipient(s) only.
