If one really does want separate mon-friday tapes, then keeping multiple generations of them is _STRONGLY_ recommended. I have to say this though: Whilst this kind of backup strategy usually works well for human-driven systems, it really is best to let Bacula handle tape labelling and demands by itself, because sooner or later someone will put in the "wrong" tape, which Bacula will either barf on (preventing a backup taking place that night) or happily write to (which leads to tapes being "out of sequence" from a human point of view) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
