I am also thinking about the same setup (Full after a half year for ten years). I am just curious why "Run = Level=Full jan jun 1st sun at 8:15" would become complicated? Furthermore i thought about putting one Full backup at one Volume(set). I am not sure if "Maximum Volume Jobs = 1" would accomplishing this. Because the data could grow and needing a second tape. Or how to delete the appendable flag of the volume? I read something about that but can't remember where :-) Thanks PM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
