    Running BACKUP Manager when you are not around

    When deciding on a backup strategy, think about whether the backup
    operation requires someone to physically change tapes or disks during
    operation.  Ideally, the backup operation can be performed unassisted
    by a batch job that runs late at night or at some other time when
    interactive use of the system is likely to be at a minimum.

    You might not have to change tapes or disks during a backup operation
    if any of the following are true:

    ·  All of the files fit on a single piece of storage media.
    ·  Your site uses a tape loader.
    ·  You have several disk or tape drives available.
