Hello out there,
currently we're trying to export a database to tape. We type
dbexport dbname -t /dev/rmt/0m -b 16 -s 4194304
but then we get the error message
Block size must be less than or equal to tape size
So we've played arround a little bit and have discovered that there is
a magical limit of 2 GB for the tape size. We're using INFORMIX-Online DSA
7.13.UC3 on HP-UX 10.01.
Are there work arrounds for this problem?
Do we need a newer release of Online?
Any hints are welcome. Thanks in advance...
