That will work.. but I have some volumes of like 2TB and scheduling 2 subsequent full runs of those will definately prospone the regular Incremental-run quite a lot.

Actually, this will gaurantee that I loose some files. The changes appeared in the interval from the Archive-run startet to to subsequent full-run, will only appear on the archive tapes. so inless the filesystem has no changes or I could snapshot them, then I would be sure to have some files only on the archived-tapes. -- Jesper - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I should have mentionend. It was my intention just to extract it from the DB before removing the Volume from there. That wouldn't require me to manually load the tape in the drive again.

You can redirect the output to a file, too. Og is there a different solution for this problem that I have overlooked? I like to print the volume's contents (jobs listing, not each file in my case) and store this printout with the tape in question. Of course, having a CD with the source code of your current Bacula version there, too, is also nice :-) Arno Jesper -- Arno Lehmann IT-Service Lehmann www.its-lehmann.de - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
