Abstract
A method to write information to two virtual tape servers. The method writes a file to a virtual host device disposed in a first virtual tape server, where the virtual host device comprises an adjustable bandwidth. The method queues a job to copy the file to a second virtual tape server, determines the age of the copy job, and copies that file to the second virtual tape server. The method sets an age threshold, and determines if the copy job age is greater than that age threshold. If the copy job age is greater than the age threshold, then the method decreases the adjustable bandwidth, if not, the method restores the adjustable bandwidth.
