For some reason, I thought that if I picked ALL it would do the flush one day at a time, asking for a different tape each time. If instead it flushes ALL onto one tape then that does effectively give you a way of maximising tape usage, if you're that concerned. However, you'd need to be rather careful that you didn't end up with too much data held. > Let several days worth accumulate then try it and let us know. No thanks - you can play with your company's data if you like :-) Regards, Niall O Broin
