(use-erase?) |----------------------------------------------- The thing is, if I do a flexbackup -toc all, it will show the dumps to the tape but pulls it from the database on my hard drive. Well, what if my hard drive crashes and that database goes away? This is partially why I wanted to run flexbackup because unlike AMANDA, I thought that you could store the index on the tape and not be dependent on the hard drive at all. Furthermore, I need to be able to do compares of what I just backed up. Can't do that with just straight dump or tar. Any suggestions?
