There is a problem in a tape-tape copy that (so far) nobody has mentioned that can bite you in the rear. If the o/p tape is just a bit shorter than the i/p tape then the copy will either fail or will ask for a second reel. Both cases leave you with useless twins of your b/u tapes. When VM/Backup is running with twin o/p tapes, it stops and asks for the next pair of tapes when the first one reaches eof. I don't know about HYDRO, but assume it does the same thing. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time. N6LRT I speak for myself & my dogs only.
