Hmmm… I am not familiar with Quarterback, as I use AmiBack. Within AmiBack there is a recursive command which will tell the tape drive NOT to rewind the tape after backing up and get ready to accept another back-up. Otherwise as soon as the backup is complete, the tape is rewound and ready for either retrieval or another backup. From the docs I have on AmiBack I get the impression that if I used the same tape to backup my two HD's (totalling three partitions) I would loose all but the last backup. There is a way around this. Lets say you have a 250mb tape, with 3 80mb harddrives (will not matter on the number of partitions). With AmiBack I can tell it to backup each of those HD's as one complete operation. Of course if I have more Mb's than I have tape space it could get a little tight (even with compression). With mine I have one 240mb HD with just one partition on it (DH1: = games). I use one complete tape for that (the heck with the 10mb leftover – no compression). My second HD is seperated into two partitions (WB_3.0: & DH0:) comprising 80mb. Again one tape for the whole drive, with no compression (For some reason I get a little nervous with compression, I have enough tape space why compress?). I will assume that Quarterback will let you do the same as above. Trent Flying near the Pole in the Great White North
