Looking for a bit of advice here... hoping someone may have some pointers. The back story is that I have three incremental tapes. Each one is written to for one business week. The total of the jobs per day is roughly 300MB. So, for the 5 days, about 1.5GB. I'm concerned about premature tape wear in this scenario -- writing to the same 1.5GB at the beginning of the tape all of the time must be a bad idea.
So, I guess what I'm looking for is some way to keep my current rotation (3 tapes, 1 week per tape) but write to a larger part of the tape surface. These are DDS4 tapes, so I could write several times to the same tape. Any hints? ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Sr. Systems Programmer |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novos...@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/CST-Academic Svcs. - ADMC 450, Newark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
