RE: ontape -s -L 0 failed

I think the other poster is right - not enough temp space. The 'warm' archive writes the physical log to a temp file so that you can continue running while users are still at it. Upon completion of a dbspace, the temp file is appended to the archive. If you run out of temp - SOL. You can add temp space, or perform the archive during a slow time to limit this physical log rollover. cheers j. > -----Original Message----- > From: K.Hong Lee [mailto:kwonghong@yahoo.com] > Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 3:06 AM > To: informix-list@iiug.org > Subject: ontape -s -L 0 failed > > > hi all, > > I have tried several attempts to perform the db backup > but in vain.
