Is there a way to do that? I've looked at various backup schemes and devices and I don't see anything like that. There doesn't seem to be very much even for backing up to a drive rather than to a tape device. Someone suggested 'mirroring' the drive, but I'm not sure what they really meant or how that might be done. -=ralph=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
