The other day I bought a DDS-2 tape changer, thinking that would simplify my backups. I just have a desktop workstation at home, and have been backing it up with a DDS-1 drive, using taper. As far as I can tell, taper won't exploit the changer, and the software that will is amanda. That's fine, but there seem to be two problems with amanda: 1. It's a big, complicated thing, unlike taper (which is quite adequately complicated, but not on the same scale) and 2. A full file system backup must fit onto a single tape. The second seems pretty fatal, since I'm only going to have DDS-2s (and, for the time being, would love to use my supply of DDS-1s). Now I'm going to have to split up my full, two-tape backup (I don't have that much stuff on my system, mostly text), into a bunch of smaller backups that will fit in a single tape and, worse, if I get a mess of MP3's or something, may suddenly blow past the one-tape limit and have to restructure my backups. So... is there something that will work better with a tape changer and relatively small tapes? Thanks! R
