RE: Remote Backups

["Walsh, Anne" <Anne.Walsh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

HI Linda,
We have our server at a remote location, Network Computing Services. I do
the verification every morning and they have a procedure to change the tape
between 10 am and 1 pm. I initilialize the tape before I leave for the day.
So far it seems to be working ok.
Hope this helps.
Anne Walsh
