Re: Automating Copy Disk Backup to Tape

["Eric A. Wolf" <eric_a_wolf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The disk backup-to-tape is not a dedicated function. That is one of the
advantages of running it to disk - it should take a lot less time and you do
not have to worry about a tape "failure" in the middle of the night.  If you
have any tape problems, you would be there to handle them.
