And this is why I need to pay attention to when I ask questions. So I can give all the details. Here is the story. I have two emulated VAXen, clustered with my Alpha. My only physical tape drives are getting *old*, as are my tapes. I’d like to backup to a simulated tape drive on the one emulated VAX. The largest drive on my Alpha is 50GB. I’d prefer not to have to span tapes. :-) Zane _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
