Ah, well now you're talking about a different issue. Because that's not really a virtual-tape-on-disk problem. That's now a removable-storage problem. I actually have not tried the current generation of removable disk technology (Tandberg RDX or similar), but I'd like to, budget permitting, because I'm getting awfully tired of LTO tape. I expect it to become more and more feasible and cost-effective as the cost of flash storage continues to drop. (I've never been much of a fan of the idea of removable spinning-rust as backup media, because you only have to drop it once...) -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
