I suggest looking at the type of the tapedrive (or on the tape itself) and entering a tapesize on the conservative side (uncompressed storage size). If you have the time to fiddle with the backup and tapesize, you can enter a higher number if it works out.

[26353] Hello Informix gurus, If I do not know the capacity of the tape, how do I specify TAPESIZE so that whatever the maximum size of the tape can be used? I'm running with 9.40.FC5XS on HP11.11? Is it "TAPESIZE=." ? Thanks in advance for any inputs.
