I have Informix 7.31 on SCO Unix 5.0.5. I want to take a dbexport and save it directly to the tape because I don't have enough disk space to save the export. How can I direct the dbexport to the tape? Thanks, Vasilis

Type in just dbexport at the command line, hit enter, and it will show the arguments it takes, including the tape drive to use... Some of the relevant arguments are: dbexport database -t tapedrive -b blocksize -s tapesize Hal Maner M Systems International, Inc. www.msystemsintl.com "Vasilis Economides" <vasilis@ctl.com.cy> wrote in message news:3A8CD38E.386BDBBC@ctl.com.cy... > I have Informix 7.31 on SCO Unix 5.0.5.
