Hi Everyone, I am with Online 5.03 on HP/OS 9.02. We have 2.3 gig of data base. Since the 90M tape limits 2 gig per, it will ask for the second tape to mount when archiving. The DDL2 tape drive of the HP/OS can hold up to 8 gig compressed. My question: Can the database be compressed on the 90M (2gig) tape once rather than I have to change the tapes in the middle of night when it prompts for a 2nd tape to mount? Thanks Thuc
