We backup just about everything to tape each night, including the IFS. I would like to try backing up to a virtual tape, in the hope that it will be significantly faster, and copy to a real tape during the day.

Does anyone have any "gotchas" or techniques to share?

Things that have come to mind are:

1) Disk space: We have more than enough.
2) We will need to exclude the virtual tape from the backup.
3) We are also running Mimix to a backup machine, so we need to exclude the virtual tape from replication.

Thanks, Sam
