In our scenario, that's fine. We want the ondisk backups to work independently of the tape backups, since the tapes are archived off site. Good for you, then :-) My concern about duplicating the filesets is twofold: 1) Error-prone when changes are made (i.e. machines added/removed) 2) namespace pollution (i.e. when doing a "run" from bconsole) and the possible human errors involved with such pollution. Two good points. Think about includes. By the way: Your signature sounds as though I'm just committing a major offense. Which is simply nonsense, especially if you write to mailing lists...
