We're only starting to use tapes ourselves now, so this is somewhat theoretical still for me. However, this is where the documentation is and I'm pretty sure it's used by a good number of people who use tapes and the feature has been in Bacula for a long time: http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Data_Spooling.html Gavin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
