You do need three devices: one for the old full, one for the
incremental, and one for the new full.  I hadn't heard of the limitation
the other poster stated that it had to be tape devices, but that doesn't
mean it isn't there. ;)

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!
