I don't see it in the archive either. Perhaps he has an X-no-archive header set in his email, or perhaps I quoted the wrong person, or maybe I was just conversing silently with one of my other personalities ;-). Anyway Alex (if that was the correct name) made the point that the scheduler would only schedule tapesize*runtapes bytes of backups, so that since the large DLE was due for a full, the scheduler picked that and just enough incrementals to fill the one allowed tape, skipping completely the rest of the DLEs, deferring them to a future run. It made sense once I thought about, so I was retracting my statement that the incrementals should have gone to available holdingdisk space, so there was no need to dig in the debug logs. Frank
