Are you making a backup to vtapes (on disk). And than make a backup of those vtapes to ptapes? So a restore from physical tape than means: First restore a backup image for each backup level from ptape to vtape. Then restore the needed files from vtape images. If all you want is having a backup on vtapes (for fast/easy restore) and on ptapes (for e.g. offsite storage), then have a look at the rait: you can use it to mirror a backup to two different set of tapes (one being a set of vtapes): http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Rait The naive two-stage approach that I understand you are implementing has a lot of drawbacks (e.g. there is no "index" for a restored vtape image, use of amrestore is not possible in that case; besides the duplication of the volume of bytes that is transferred of course.) -- Paul Bijnens, xplanation Technology Services Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, ^^, * * F6, quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * init 0, kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
