On the other hand, they make a pretty good archival media. What I do is backup to disk (a jazz), and then archive the backups to cd. When the incremental backups quit fitting two to a cd, I do level 0s - which also get archived to cd. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
