Just for your information: OPS took over the backup of rawdata from me. I passed all tapes to OPS. New backup schedule is: OPS keep two copy of the data, one is at OPS safe place and the other one is at ABN-Amro safe. Rawdata is written into tapes at OPS safe place once in a week (Firday's). For ABN-Amro, I do not know the schedule yet. OPS related doc is available at http://iii.ripe.net/ops/docs/areas/services/backup/risbackup.html OPS also will do zero level backup, but time schedule is not decided yet. I have updated RIS operational doc through the latest changes. http://iii.ripe.net/sed/twiki/bin/view/Doc/RISOperationalDocumentation Arife
