And cost too much, unfortunately. The customer won't be able to afford one and I agree it would be overkill. Until a few months ago their full backup took only a single tape; now it spans two, but a more modern unit would be more than enough. In any case someone still needs to put the tape in and get it out (that's what I meant with "uncomfortable"). Don't get me wrong, I'm very fond of tapes :) >> Is there a way I can tell bacula to almost ignore tape backups, so: >> a) always use the last disk full as a reference for subsequent diff/incr; >> a) always restore from disk, unless I really ask for the tape (e.g. by >> job number)? > > This looks like the copy jobs are the must suitable for your situation. You mean the following? b) do a Copy: this should work, but I'd need to copy several full/diff/incr jobs (not having a complete up to date full); So I should "copy" multiple jobs, not having a ready up to date "full"? In case of disaster, would "bextract"ing data from such tapes be as easy? bye & Thanks av. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
