Have a look at the "Run" directive available for the Job resource. > What other strategies could I use? We do a full backup to tape on Thursday night -- the courier picks tapes up on Friday. We then do a second full backup to disk on Friday night, so we have a local full backup to work with. We then run incrementals the rest of the week. Running two full backups in a row seems like a waste, but since the Run directive would end up running the job twice anyway, it doesn't really hurt anything. It'll be nice when Bacula has the ability to send a single job to two destinations. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. **************************************************************** IMPORTANT: This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
