Sorry Guys,

Maybe I didn't explain myself very well. Here is the situation:-

We have a customer who now requires that EVERY month, an archive is
taken to a management class that may be 7 or 10 years.

Obviously over a period of time, this data will be migrated from disk
to tape, and then the ONSITE copies will just sit in the library taking
up valuable slots.

I don't want this to happen!. Over a prolonged period, we will run out
of slots!. So, the solution that I came up with, is to save directly to
tape, and then send those tapes offsite, thus "freeing" up the slots.
Now obviously, this is NOT an ideal solution, I realise that!. But what
other options do I have?.

Kind Regards,
