We had a SAN melt down last year and it took 3 days to restore 70 VM servers. So we would really like to put the backup on disk. In addition, how much GB you would recommend for a FILE volume? I read some forum, someone recommend 25GB and some recommend 50GB.

Since they don't expire, you should have to worry about reclamation. You can leave all the other stuff in the library and let it reclaim as needed.

I had to checkout some tapes for onsite storage. However, we come to the point that it makes reclamation very inefficiency since tapes are not in the library. I am thinking to create a new Domain and move some nodes to the new domain. Create a FILE class pool on disk for onsite restore that associate with the new domain. For now on the current domain, our primary pool is on tapes. A copy tape pool is send to offsite for DR. My question is should I use the current copy tape pool or create a new copy tape pool bind to the new domain. In addition, any suggest solution for a situation that I have now? I am sorry I am new to TSM, I hope I explain well the situation we have now.
