Re: Log. Log Backup: How full is tape?

Hi, tbtape will prompt you to change the tape once it is full, and will wait till you change the tape and press enter. Ofcourse if it gets full by friday night, it will be waiting till you come back. My suggestion would be to have different tapes for say weekly/once in 3 days etc. depending on your transaction volume, in such a case you wouldn't have to worry about tape getting full.
