Yes, I went to great lengths to try to keep mine streaming and avoid shoe-shining, but with only moderate success.
I have had many fewer problems, as well as much better performance, since I abandoned tape and went to disk-to-disk-to-removable-disk (with both of the destination disk stages being RAID). Full backup cycles that used to take 18 hours and two or three media changes, with about a 10% failure rate due to media errors, now take 3 or 4 hours with no media changes and nearly 100% success.
However, we are getting further and further off the subject of compression. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958 _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
