I am in the process of putting together a disaster recovery plan in case =
our primary server goes down. This server is a stand-alone NBU server, =
backing up only itself, etc. I have no problems using NBU to do the =
recovery (bare metal restore, etc.), but those above me also require a =
vendor-independent recovery plan, in case there are "problems" using NBU =
to recover the data. I have experimented with using the NBU version of =
tar, and have successfully restored files from the tape. My only question =
is this: is it possible to make tar continue to the next backup set on the =
tape automatically? Currently, I am only able to restore small pieces of =
the system at a time (looks like 2000k or so). I am familiar with the =
option to span multi-volume archives, but I would like to see if there is =
an option to (for lack of a better way to put it) start at a certain point =
on the tape and restore everything from that point on, without prompts for =
user intervention. (The requirements for the DR plan dictate that a user =
with little or no admin experience should be able to do the recovery... =
this is NOT my requirement, but one put on me by those above)

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
