Now that would be really cool... if our SAN were smart enough to do snapshots.
Sadly, this is not the case. It's large, but not very smart.

You don't say whether you mean to back up each table to tape as it's produced,
or back them all up at the end when they've all been copied.

For your own sanity, I'd suggest you stick a label on the tape, give Bacula the

Hi All,

In such situation, I would ask the question to how get a slave db server running
