Optimizing data organization for restore and retrieval operations

How you organize data affects how efficiently and quickly Tivoli® Storage Manager can access it and perform retrieval operations.

Grouping data by using collocation in server storage pools
Use collocation to improve Tivoli Storage Manager performance and maintain optimal data organization.
Maintaining active-data storage pools
Setting up active-data storage pools can be useful for fast client restore operations. By keeping only active data in a storage pool, you can reduce the number of onsite or offsite storage volumes that you use, or reduce bandwidth when you copy or restore files that are vaulted electronically in a remote location.
