Right, With Arkeia you must backup their database first then the machines that you need. It's not pretty. Jonathan Paul Cowherd Linux and Java Administrator Genscape, Inc.

Yeah, A++++ reviews till you need to restore from a crash. Then you are Out of Luck unless you have some OTHER backup to restore the tape catelog from. The sorry truth is that arkeia does not store catelogs on the tape and can not recreate a catelog from its own tape, so after a hard disk failure you are screwed. Its good for backups and restoring things users accidentally delete, but as a disaster recovery its useless. Try BRU. At least it can rebuild a catelog from its own tape. -- _________________________________________________ John Andersen / Juneau Alaska -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
