Mark, Thanks, These Backupsets are for a Novell Client they are still currently using ArcServe for there full weekly backup of a POI Volume on a Novell OS server until we get ours working correctly. I believe they do this because this Volume is very important and holds many many GroupWise user files and they the Backup Sets for Archival/Restores.
So I assume this means there is no way to shorten these? They causing tape problems with Oracle clients on the weekend. Thanks again!
