B-b-but... if I do that with the eight tapes I have now... won't it get a little wonky at some point? I'm not sure how long it'll take for me to get more tapes... they do things in a weird way around here. And they're talking about getting a new drive that's the same make/model as what they have on the Windows network, so they may balk at paying $70 each for tapes that may be junk in a few weeks. I want to make the most efficient use of the tapes I have until I know what's going on... :-) -- John Oliver, CCNA http://www.john-oliver.net/ Linux/UNIX/network consulting http://www.john-oliver.net/resume/ *** sendmail, Apache, ftp, DNS, spam filtering *** **** Colocation, T1s, web/email/ftp hosting ****
