Re: copying sets

2001-01-25 Thread David Chokwenda

Hi,
Any one any suggestions on this?
I am running the backup server script and using a scsi dat tape, rotating
between four. Is there a way of copying the contents of the storage set from
one tape to another so that I do not have to repeat the procedure 4 times?
regards
David

Hi David,

I assume you're talking about having four backup sets in total, right?
Retrospect does has the ability to do a Backup Set transfer, but you must
have two tape drives available to do this. It won't be much speedier than
running a backup though, as it will still need to copy and verify.

The best bet is to have unique full backups from the original source anyway,
so you are not relying on a copy of a copy for your backup sets.
