Question regarding the Level 1 archive using ontape

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0031_01C4A62F.87FDAFC0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit We take the level 0 backup every week and level 1 backup every day. But sometimes on the 3rd or the 4th day itself we would get following error message: Archive failed - The existing level-0 backup for DBspace rootdbs is too old to allow any incremental backup. What we need to do to ensure that we can take level 1 backup for an entire week before taking the level 0 backup ?

I think there are a number of adminstrative tasks that means you have to perform a level 0 archive for example , if you added any dbspaces probably worth reviewing the info in the backup guide.
