I think so. This sounds good to me in theory, but I don't have much knowledge or experience with backup. > Create two pools, with a volume retention period of two months. > Run two full backups each day. This sounds good to me. I've re-read the bumf for Volume Retention a couple more times and what I can't quite tell is what happens if I have no space on my tapes and there is no data older than my volume retention (two months). Do the backups fail? Assuming they do, is Purge Oldest Volume a safe way to go? Assuming my daily backup is 300GB I would hope to fit it on two tapes with compression. If I did do two daily backups I would be able to get a full nine days, after which the earliest stuff would be overwritten. Maybe I could use this in combination with a full monthly backup? Sorry for these basic questions... I'd quite like to get it right first time for once :) Many thanks, -Lewis Thompson. -- I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. -| msn:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | url:www.lewiz.org |- ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
