Jeff, I don't think you are talking about save files because that horse ain't going to run in this pack. Too slow, and most commands won't work, (like saving multiple libraries to a single save file). If you are talking about mirrored IASP's, in which one is an identical copy. Which in turn could be taken off like and saved twice - I don't know enough about IASP's to make a statement. Now, GST makes a tape drive that will automatically dup to another as it saves, or some such process. That way you could get by with one tape drive and still get your offsite copy. I don't use it, but I've seen the ad's.

Wouldn't this be a lot smaller restricted window than any tape backup? Would this be a lot more expensive than having 2 tape drives to duplicate tapes for offsite storage? Is anyone already doing this? -- Jeff Crosby Dilgard Frozen Foods, Inc. P.O. Box 13369 Ft.
