My understanding was that as of 18 months ago that you could not use a
disk device for a consolidated backup.  I think there is a line in the
Admin guide to this effect.

I had a situation where I had servers on a slow link and wanted to not
tie up a tape drive all day long.

You can actually set it up but, the indexes quickly got weird and I was
pretty sure data was missing.  SO I quit.

I haven't been heavily involved in Networker for a while so this may
have changed.

Subject: [Networker] consolidated backups to disk?

Is it possible to use disk devices for consolidated backups?
  Is it 100% necessary to have three tape devices as the networker admin
guide states?
   
  Thank you!
