Possible? Yes, with the current version of AMANDA. Recommended? I'd be leery of doing it to any drive I can't unplug, tuck under my arm, and run out of a burning building with. (Yes, I only have external tape drives.)
A mix of disk for quick restores and tape for off-site would be entirely reasonable, if you really do that many restores. (Just remember to test restore both at least monthly.) > -----Original Message----- > From: Terri Eads [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 3:19 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: disk-to-disk backups > > > > We're considering doing our backups to raid systems > now instead of to tape libraries.
