Arkeia could have been a nice solution, but as far as i know, it only works with dat's and not tapesteamers, and taper it to complex (say to dos-alike) for the endusers.anybody any other idea's? Vincent

ARKEIA can use all kinds of tape streamers ( at least the latest one) IIRC. BB, Arjen

Beware that ARKEIA's only disaster recovery mechanism is outside of it's software. One has to tar up the index files directory from disk to a separate tape. If you don't have these files backed up on a different tape with a standard format your ARKEIA tapes will be useless in case of complete loss of a disk. This was the case with the versions up until 6 months ago when I stopped using ARKEIA. Their website stated that future versions would be able to restore the indexes from a fresh install of ARKEIA.
