Advice to everyone : read the tao of backup > ( http://www.taobackup.com ). Old, funny and still right on. I didn't say it's a backup solution. It's the simplest form of keeping data, and would have helped here. We tend to do backup-to-disk and then disk-to-tape, which until now is superior to just backup-to-tape. It speeds up backup and restore time, even when "just" using simple 2TB SATA drives (in RAID-5 arrays). The following disk-to-tape runs without any start/stop cycles of the tape (mostly LTO4 now), leading to much longer tape and tape drive lifetimes than before. -- mit freundlichen Grüssen, Michael Monnerie, Ing.
