I got a generic question for you all. How do you keep in track of your Database Backup Tape Volumes? I know you can see in Volhist the label of the volume, but how do you keep in track to get it back from the vault?
We stopped making tape backups of our database but instead have two machines colocated some distance away, and we rsync the db backups (made to FILE) to them. We use the DRM module to weed the files, since it will correctly delete the older backups that aren't necessary, but will keep fulls around until all the incrementals are gone. --Jim
