Re: [Networker] Version 7 Disk Backup Option (NO tape library!) ?

Not exactly. In both V6.1.x as well as V7.0, you can simply unmount the file
device, and change it in the volume library to appendable and re-mount it.

Terry and al,

Is this the way that V6.1.X works as well for the file type device?
