It will do regular dump-style backups, stagger the level 0 dumps across all the tapes in your backup sets, and modify dump levels based on disk space. It looks like a great system for backing up many machines with a relatively small amount of storage per-filesystem. Now, if anyone could tell me how to back up my servers, with 2 60-gig, 4 45-gig, and 7 20-gig partitions, onto this DLT 7000 autoloader I have here, I would be ecstatic. :) -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
