Since it seems we're on the subject of feature requests, speeds of backups over network to tape and so on, here's what I'd like to see added to Retrospect. I'll be talking about tapes because that's what I use, but I'm sure this would apply to any sort of backup set. Add an option that does

Just a thought, when does it get time to copy to tape, this seems good in theory but I guess it could only be efficient if you can run multiple backup sessions in parallel. I'm not sure about the problem with speed, I think tape drives can keep up with network speeds though I can't tell you
