Assume one bad tape out of 5 in your backup set. With a conventional tape backup system that archives on a file by file basis, you'll be able to read the data on the rest of the tapes. OTOH, with a tape backup of a filesystem, god knows what you have. certainly you'll have some data, but hope your filesystem code is good at ignoring errors without panicing. danno -- Dan Pritts, Sr. Systems Engineer Internet2 office: +1-734-352-4953 | mobile: +1-734-834-7224 SC09: Visit the Internet2 Booth #1355 November 14-20, 2009 Portland, Oregon Convention Center http://events.internet2.edu/2009/sc09/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
