Thanks very much for clarifying that to me. Yes, I meant that (at least at present) all data will fit onto one tape for every day of the week, i.e. if a full backup is done every day Monday to Friday, then Monday's full backup will fit onto one tape, Tuesday's will fit onto one tape, and so on.

That's an interesting suggestion, but I don't really follow on how to do this in practice. Are you saying that you do daily backups just to disk, and only rely on monthly backups on tape which are then kept off-site? Or do you mean do backups to both disk and tape - to disk for fast recovery
