Using several tapes, switching every day (or however often you make backups), is a good idea. If the tapes can hold more than one backup, just keep adding to the oldest tape when all have been used once. That way, if the system explodes during a backup, it won't take the most recent backup with it. -- Måns Rullgård mru@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
