The thread on migrating without using tape got me thinking of something I'll
be setting up soon.

Weekly, I will be copying our production file library from or production
machine to our development machine. I was going to save to a savf and then
FTP that over.

Is there any benefit to using virtual tape instead of a savf?

Thanks

Gord
