If the ONCONFIG file parameter LTAPEDEV is set to /dev/null then the engine automatically frees each logfile for reuse as soon as it is filled. This may be what you are seeing unless you have set up an ALARMPROGRAM to perform the backup file by file or have run ontape -c (continuous log backup mode). Art S. Kagel
