RE: Level 0 Resotre problems
Hi Mr Naner,
Thank you very much for your reply. I have to restore around 3GB
data. I have only one tape drive attached to the machine. Logical log
space is more than enough, I feel. 200 logs of 512 KB each.
There are 4 Temporary DBSpaces each one of them having 1GB
each. Please get back to me if any solution is possible.
Thanks
Sam
