We are now performing a level-0 backup each sounds logical (no pun intended!) to me. If you use tapes, you don't stop and restart continous backup without changing the tape - if you did, you would expect to lose any data in the old logs. Rather than doing a level-0 every time, why not write a script that stops ontape -c, gets the log numbers from the output of this (I'm assuming that ontape is similar to tbtape), copies the log files to another location, then restarts ontape -c (obviously not in the background :-) ). Just a thought. Richard
