The computer I use is a Sequent Symmentry with 1 gigabyte of storage. The 
previous SA used a daily dump of entire file systems to do backup. As the new
SA, I want to try something that will be easier to recover specific items--We
have Oracle--instead of what restoring from a dump would require. Also, we
currently use the large tapes (2400ft, 1600bpi).
		
			   All suggestions appreciated.
