AFAIK, there is no current difference between Archive, Disabled and Read-Only because they refer to unimplemented features of Bacula. However, bscan marks volumes as Archive "to keep them from being re-written" according to a comment in the code, so it it probably safe to use Archive for your monthly tapes in the current version. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
