Hello all,

I currently do on-disk db backups (to a file devclass) of my relatively
small (2 gb) database.  Full on Saturday, incrementals Sun-Fri.  I keep 2
weeks of backups on disk.

I need to start implementing an offsite stgpool.  Instead of wasting a
100gb LTO tape for the db, i'm thinking about just tarring the on-disk
backup to a DDS3 drive.  I'll also put vol history and devconfig on the
DDS3 tape, and send it offsite with the LTO tapes..  I think it'll be a
very long time before the db exceeds the 12gb capacity of DDS3.

Anyone see any problems/gotchas with sending the db offsite this way?

Thanks,
Ray
