Say you have 4 clients, each have 10TiB of data on them. For disk staging you only have 1TiB on each client.
When it gets to 98% of the total capacity of the staging area (default)-- shouldn't it pause, bleed to tape, delete the files on disk and then continue? Instead, it keeps backing up the files to disk until the disk runs out of capacity, has anyone encountered this? /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 55G 51G 627M 99% /local /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 55G 51G 503M 100% /local /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 55G 51G 311M 100% /local /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 55G 52G 154M 100% /local /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 55G 52G 7.1M 100% /local /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 55G 52G 0 100% /local And then.. 10/24/2008 04:15:26 - Critical bpdm (pid=32317) bp_sts_write_image failed: error 31 10/24/2008 04:15:26 - Warning bpdm (pid=32317) storage unit my_stage01 is full: processing disk full condition 10/24/2008 04:15:41 - Critical bpdm (pid=32317) bp_sts_write_image failed: error 31 10/24/2008 04:15:41 - Error bpdm (pid=32317) cannot write image to disk, attempted write of 262144 bytes, system wrote 0 10/24/2008 04:15:42 - Error bpbrm (pid=32310) from client client-name: ERR - Cannot write to STDOUT.

With other backup SW-- it sticks to the settings you have it set to, e.g., 70% and then backup to tape, pause backup until it pushes all of the data off disk. With NetBackup that is not the case, any ideas?
