A dlt tape can hold 40 to 80 gigs of data. Make sure you set the backup to append to media so it does not over write the tape. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kashif Dar Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2004 11:41 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Backup strategy Hi all Experts advice needed on backup.
