Sometimes it already helps to get some kind of template ... but you can judge that better than me ... ;-) >> For my current job I need/should use external hdds as target media, >> so I wonder if should simply define a separate changer "vault" in >> parallel, with vtapes on these disks. >> > > That's what we did with our vault setup.
