It kinda defeats the purpose, imho. :D If you really want to do it though, I'd say set part of the backup job up to have tar write to tape once in a while, since it's the Tape ARchiver program. ;)
The periodic backups look like they're very configurable, so if you want the full dump to go to tape, I'd say set up a manual backup to do a full dump to tape, looking at man tar to find what switches to use. If someone else wishes to correct me, let me know. You'll lose the pooling benefits this way though. I think? Stephen Joyce wrote: > Has anyone implemented periodic archiving of full dumps to tape?
