RE: BRMS question

["Graap, Ken" <keg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff - Consider this. Having BRMS manage your tape media and the placement
of data on each volume is like allowing OS/400 to manage your disk drives
and the placement of data on them... It doesn't mater where the data is put,
as long as you can easily find it when you need it. 

You don't need to worry about mounting certain tapes for certain days. BRMS
knows where everything is. 

Let BRMS schedule moving BU data offsite too. 

Once you set up the BRMS policies to accomplish all of this your BU's will
run themselves... It is really slick when it is all set up.

I don't understand why anyone would _not_ want to do that?
