But why would more level 0's give you more _real_ "value" if amrecover takes care of which tape to go to for the files that you request? If I were to need to restore the entire file system, then certainly restoring from one single level 0 tape would be more convenient than to restore from one level 0 plus several level 1 and level 2 tapes. But in the case of restoring only several files, which is generally the case, as long as all changed files are backed up somewhere, the only difference is to locate the right tape for the files needed. Right? Ivan
