If there is a lot of duplication and compressible files you might make backuppc (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/) work for on-disk backups. It is extremely handy and you might split off part of the machines to back up that way even if you still need some on tape. Backula (http://www.bacula.org/) looks better suited to tapes but I have not tried it yet. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
