I'm wondering if you're seeing lots of collisions when the 10M clients start dumping. > JBL> What is your runspercycle? Tapecycle *must* be >= (preferebably >) > JBL> runspercycle.

Gonna read about it once more. > > dumpcycle 14 > tapecycle 11 > runtapes 1 I believe (taking into account your next mail) that it's dumpcycle that needs the units. For example, I want a full dump of every filesystem once a week, running only on weeknights. So I have dumpcycle 1 week runspercycle 5 runtapes 1 I also want a 3 month history of dailies, so I have tapecycle 60 I'm guessing that what you want is: dumpcycle 2 weeks runspercycle 14 runtapes 1 As I mentioned, then, you need *at least* 14 tapes. 15 or 16 would be *much* better. > btw, whatīs SOL ?
