That sounds just like Retrospect's "Incremental Plus". With either, when you say "ad infinitum", I am concerned about redundancy and potential tape failure. After you've been backing up for however long "ad infinitum" is, you only have one copy of all your backed up files. You can configure almost any backup software to do that, but you should probably think about balancing the risks inherent in your backup strategy against your concerns about the time it takes to back up. --------------- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ ---- Systems Administrator c/ /'_ --- Biology & Geology Departments (*) \(*) -- 140 Morrill Science Center ~~~~~~~~~~ - University of Massachusetts, Amherst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------- Erdös 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
