I asked this before but got no answers - so here we go again: I want to know if there exists any backup software that can backup to a file.Then I could first take backup of all files right to a mg tape but after that only changed files into a file which is then transferred by the network to a computer that has the backup device. Is this possible with any program. Retrospect? Others?

Retrospect will back up to a file as you have described. Retrospect
also gives you control of what gets backed up so that the first
time you run the backup you can get all files with subsequent
backups only picking up changed files.
Good luck with your backups!

Sorry for the additional net.bandwidth, but I couldn't mail to Harri.
Retrospect does what you want, I believe. I seem to recall from the
89 MacWorld Expo in Boston that the salesman talked about an option to
create a backup file on any device other than the one being backed up.
This backup file is the same thing that is written onto mag tape (that
is Retrospect's true purpose, a mag tape archiver/backup), but could
be written to a place other than the tape. You could then use FTP or
GatorBox or anything else to move that file to your final destination
(heck, if you have a GatorBox, mount your Ethernet destination and
have Retrospect write directly to it).
Good luck.
