thanks Lynn.

Have u used backup exec or arc serve before?

1. Daily full backup via backup exec to tape at 9pm.

This tape will be send offsite for safe keeping.

2. Daily full db backup to filesystem via SQL Maintenance Plan at 9pm

3. 5 hourly interval db transaction logs backup via backup exec to tape.

This tape will be onsite

I heard with this, I can't do point in time recovery using option 2 and 3.

Seems like backup exec doesn't have an option to restore the transaction logs to file system, for us to

using it with option 2.

Any idea?

thanks
