Hi Richard! I realize that. We are using a 2.5 Tb. diskpool, so until now there was no problem directing all backups to this pool. I think I will have to start using the maximum file size on this pool, but I have to find a value large enough to let only the really big ones go to tape directly, to prevent contention on the tape drives. Kind regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

Save disk pools of ordinary backups of numerous files of modest size.
