Good Morning Eric,
Thanks for the clarification. I had given some thought to storing
"short term" archival copies of the large backup set files on an ASIP
Server we use to store disk images of CD-ROM's. Glad to know it's not
so simple. I think a second large ATA drive on our "Backup Machine"
is the way to go. Having the most recent three months of work backed
up to a Hard Drive, being able to restore without inserting a tape,
is the kind of magic the folks I support like.
