One tape only does not count as a backup, in my opinion ;-) >> >> Ralf >> > > You can use one tape in one pool only. Uh... no. You can put as many tapes as you want into each pool.

Not exactly... if you've got full and differential jobs on one tape, Bacula will read what it needs. If it needs another tape, it will prompt for it, or load it from the autochanger if you've got one. > Just try it out ;-) Definitely :-) > Hope it helps, > Damian > Arno -- IT-Service Lehmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Arno Lehmann http://www.its-lehmann.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
