Running full backups on a weekend, or scheduling anything which requires tape changes on monday or friday is a bad idea, as you've discovered. I include monday and friday, because these if there is a "long weekend" it will wipe out one of those days. For that reason, We only schedule full/differential backups between tuesday 1am to thursday 1am ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
