y quite cool and is much
swifter than comparing system folders file by file.

the way Retrospect handles duplicates, you
shouldn't need as many tapes or as much time as you may initially think.
One full run on a fresh tape(s) will help you to gauge your needs better.
IMO, backing up is more than "how many tapes do I need to buy to fit all

Hi Martjin,
It sounds like you're backing up via static IP addresses but the clients
are running on DHCP. Therefore, when they reboot they'll have a new IP

Is there any chance at all that you used Dantz' Registry Backup Manager?
