Another reason for retaining dump images would be to make a second backup tape in case writing one of the tapes is to be it's last use before errors occur, and so that one copy could be kept off-site (in case the disaster that destroys your disks also destroys your tape copies kept on-site). So I would add to Nick's question, can the retained dump images be taped a second time, hopefully in a way that allows amanda to record the fact that the images exists on two different tapes. thanks, /don Don Wolski m/s, Natural Resources 211c Unix System Administrator Information Technology Unit [EMAIL PROTECTED]�������� College of NR and Sciences 707-826-3536 (voice)����� Humboldt State University 707-826-3501 (fax)������� Arcata, CA 95521-8299
