1) Do you append?
No. Never did, and, with vtl, why would you want to?
2) Do you still use move policies?
No. I no longer use move policies since moving to vtl.
3) No need to run movement, correct?
Correct. The tapes stay in the media library. The replication to the
other Data Domain is outside of BRMS. And it keeps the same volume name.
4) When a VTL volume expires, is it automatically ready to be used for a
future save.
Yes. Some have already been reused. BRMS has a preference system on
volumes. First it looks for ones that have never been used. So if you
create 400 tapes you will use all those before it starts taking expired
tapes. Then it looks for tapes that have been expired the longest. The
theory there being that, even though the tape is expired the data is still
there and can be restored from in a pinch.
