Ditto on the 'bummer' comment.  I had noticed the 1GB subfilecachesize
limitation and wondered about the implications.

I guess we'll continue to backup the 400GB/night.  We have 4 new TS1120
drives in our 3494 which will make it a little less painful.

Yes, that is what we are trying to do.  Sam, on the other hand....

I didn't realize the cache directory was limited in size and that it held
complete copies of files.  Checking this, it seems you may be correct about
full copies of files being made in the cache directory.  The size of the
cache directory is only 1GB according to the Users Guide, and that is what
the EditPreferences GUI restricts you to as well....  I don't understand
how subfile backup can work for files up to 2GB in size, if the
subfilecachesize is restricted to 1024 MB.

Bummer.  Thanks Wanda.
