Thank you, Wolfgang, you answered my question. I know you didn't mean to do so, but you did. You've done better by accident than anyone else on this list did on purpose.
I am still somewhat puzzled that no one bothered to just say "Yes" when I asked if Bacula could 'span tapes'. It's a simple word, easy to spell and usually a really nice word to say to someone (of course, it really depends on just what it is you're being asked to say 'yes' to ...) so I don't understand. But then, there are so MANY things I don't understand (life, women, the national attraction for GW) I guess I'll just add it to the list. Thanks, again.

At least it has not the same restrictions as Amanda: it can put multiple backups on a single tape, and it can span a single backup over several tapes as well. > OS: Debian Linux 2.4 Kernel, Only console available, no X window > Tape: Dell PowerVault DLT VS160 > Full Backup size: 6GB Should be OK. > I would like to do incremental Backup during Weekdays and a full Backup on the > Weekend.

Yes, of course. > Restoring the data will be a nice feature as well.. :-) Yes, of course :-) Best regards, Wolfgang Denk -- Software Engineering: Embedded and Realtime Systems, Embedded Linux Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "It is better for civilization to be going down the drain than to be coming up it." - Henry Allen ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
