You maybe able to backup to disk, then copy the disk files to tape.  What
backup software are you using?

----------

Hello list friends,
 I've been thinking about our backup tapes recently and I
thought of some questions that I can't seem to find an answer
to..

 First,
  I have a 2 Gig tape which a partial backup was made on it
which takes up only 500MB of the tape.. If I want to back up
another 500MB group on to tape but don't want to waste another
tape on such a small job then.. Is there a way to append to a
tape, add files to a tape with out washing out the previous
backup?

 Second,
  What is the fastest tape drive out there? Presently our
backups take about 4 hours to run. Is there any way to speed
that up? Different tape drive, different type of tape perhaps?
Or is that all dependent on the speed of your proccesser and
such?

 Just curious,
Gehan Gehale
