You can't be serious about that: let's say you have a handful of workstations full backup 200GB each and perform backups for a couple of weeks - in my case after a month 1,4 TB for the fulls and 179GB for the incrementals. After pooling and compression: 203 (!) GB TOTAL. Xfer time for a 130GB full: 50min. How fast are your tapes? But if you prefer changing tapes (and spending a lot more money on the drives) - go ahead ... so much for "wasting space" ;-) Regards, Bernhard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
