You can use one tape in one pool only. In that pool it is possible to create multiple volumes for both full and diff backups. I think a volume is something like a file on a tape. And you can have for sure multiple files on a tape. If a restore is necessary you bacula will read the full-backup volume (file) first and then forwind the tape to the diff volume it needs. Just try it out ;-) Hope it helps, Damian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
