Hi guys,

First of all I would like to say that since we have upgraded to PTF5, we
are not experiencing 100% cpu load for the moment.

Now the question:
We're backing up our data for Novell, NT and Linux with a set of tapes.
(We have a tape drive with a robot mounter). We want to use one set of
tapes during one week with a full backup at the beginning of the week
and incremental backups during the remaining days. After we want to send
the tapes off site. We would like  to do the same thing the next week
with another set of tapes. Then we want to reuse the first set of tape.

DRM is not an option.

The copy storage pool does not seem to be the solution because it would
be too annoying,
as it would need a lot of user interaction i.e. mounting and unmounting
of tapes and this is what we are trying to get away from.

Regards
John  Sherlock
