If that code no longer works, one option might be to back up to suitably sized vtapes, and periodically burn your vtapes to CD. In order to make the restores simpler, perhaps after burning to CD (and verifying the copy) you could make the vtape a symlink to your CD drive. I've never tried doing this, so it might not be as simple as I imagine it. Frank -- Frank Smith [email protected] Sr. Systems Administrator Voice: 512-374-4673 Hoover's Online Fax: 512-374-4501
