You *can* do that, and I *would* do that, but you don't have to. If you set autoflush, you can just leave the Tuesday tape on the shelf, slap in the Wednesday tape, and Amanda will put Tuesday's *and* Wednesday's backups on that tape (space permitting). But then that's sliding down the slippery slope away from the "nice tidy little tape rotation", isn't it? :-) -- Jay Lessert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Accelerant Networks Inc.
