If it's going to be <50Gb after compression then you can run full backups every day with dumpcycle=0. If it won't fit you could set dumpcycle=2. Set your weekly backups to no-reuse until they're a month old. Then put them back in the cycle and set the no-reuse on whatever tape you call the monthly backup. Set your tapecycle down to 7 so you can reuse tapes every week if needed. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - HMC UNIX Systems Manager My opinions are my own and probably don't represent anything anyway.
