Date: 16 Jul 1995 19:02:26 GMT Organization: WEST COAST ONLINE Lines: 10 Message-ID: <3ubno2$k1c@news.wco.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 199.4.123.201 X-Newsreader: AIR News 3.X (SPRY, Inc.) I have a two BSDI v2.0 server environment: a news server (4.3 gb), and a main server with 1gb. The question is: how (and how often) should I back it up? I was planning on purchasing a 4~8 gb 4mm DAT SCSI drive (HP or Connor), but I have heard the tapes can only be used once or twice. Also, I assume that I will have to run NFS to allow backups to take place from on tape drive (on one PC). Thanks in advance for any help. --Larry
