Write a _full_ backup to a tape that is stored offsite. This tape can be used to do a full restore and is far enough away to be safe from fire. You can use the other tapes in the changer for incrementals. How much data you're willing to lose determines how often you do full compared to incremental backups. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
