    Hi again,
    at this time i don't know how much data will be. The tape devices i have are
    for DDS tapes. My problem is this, since i don't want to leave the logs in
    the disk for a long time and i need to keep then for a couple of years how
    can i backup them? My first idea is to do backup everyday to the same tape
    and in the end of the week i change the tape to a new one and delete from
    the disk all the logs. With this i will have in the end of the year 52
    tapes. Is this a waste of tapes or seamns a good solution?
    
    Antonio

    How much data are you backing up?
    What type of Tape device do you have?
    Is there a SAN or NAS available for archive?
    
    On smaller systems the GFS method is pretty good. With a dozen or so tapes,
    one can archive over 6 months of data.

    Can someone give me some advices about logg backup? Since we don't need to
    have the loggs in the disk forever (and we can't!), what's the best way to
    implement tape rotation?
