Hi, > It's kinda hard for a hacker to format all the tapes in a library furthermore, some tapes will be put in a safe... Understanding that putting the tape away in a safe is a manual thing, you could also put an HD in a safe... One thing I like about the HD solution is that you need nothing to access your files (at least with Amanda): only dd(1) and tar(1); it can work even if Amanda server is dead. In fall 2011, we were flooded and had to move the datacenter. I packed the minimum amount of servers, but I also packed the backup HD, knowing that I could use them with no backup server) Bests, Olivier
