  11. Isn't this a task for an incremental?. Have another tape which saves all the
  12. files created/modified since your first backup. I don't know that it deals
  13. with deleted files ( ie remembering that a file had been deleted, it depends
  14. on how directories are handled I guess )
  15. Disadvantage is that you need more than 1 tape and more than 1 recover.
