AFAIK, you are not wrong. At least with regard to tapes: Amanda does not put multiple backups on the same tape. However it also distributes the fulls over the tapecycle so add at least <full>/<tapecycle> to your estimate of space required. What does a CD-R cost these days? About 35-40 cents apiece? -- Stephen Carville http://www.heronforge.net/~stephen/gnupgkey.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------ Right wing socialists hate privacy as much as left wing socialists hate guns.
