Backup Software May Not Work Correctly with Remote Storage-Managed Volumes
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 249734 - Older (or "legacy") vendor-supplied backup programs may not be aware of Windows 2000 Remote Storage service (RSS) files that have been moved to offline storage. When these files are moved to secondary storage, a reparse point is created
that contains information about the file, such as property
information (including the create/accessed date, security
information, and other information) that may need to be accessed
without recalling the file from storage. When such a program
backs up a volume that contains RSS files, it may produce
unwanted behavior such as backing up useless data to tape that
cannot be used for restoring, or initiating a recall of all the
files in offline storage

Remote Storage Migration Job Performance Begins to Degrade Over Time
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 244832 - Over time, Remote Storage nightly migration jobs begin to degrade in performance by taking longer to complete. For example, your RSS service logs (located in the Remote Storage snap-in) show the nightly scans and data transfers taking

filters.
Remote Storage Service Has No Option to Reclaim Media After Removing a Volume from Management
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 268994 - Remote Storage Service (RSS) allocates media (tape) as needed to store migrated files, and to make media copies. The media that RSS allocates is never made available for other programs to use even after you use RSS to remove a volume from
management. This behavior occurs primarily because RSS does not
migrate files from different managed volumes to separate or
different tapes. In addition, RSS does not keep a list of
volumes from which it has migrated files for each specific piece
of master media. Consequently, RSS has no reclaiming or tape
recycling mechanism to free a tape from allocation. You can view
RSS master media in the RSS graphical user interface (GUI) under
the Media icon. All master and copy media that is
allocated to RSS is located in the Removable Storage Manager (RSM)
GUI in the Remote Storage media pool.
