Re: Archive Level 0 from Unix to Disk

What is wrong with multiple 2 gig files? just set your TAPESIZE and TAPEBLK so that the files aren't greater than 2gig on SCO. When the "tape" fills up it will ask for you to load a new tape. mv the current tape to something useful like backup_file_1, then recreate the TAPEDEV file with the correct permissions and hit enter on the ontape prompt that is asking for the file. You can probably cat the files back together on W2K if you want. If that won't work for you and you aren't afraid of named pipes you can use rcp to copy a "file" (named pipe) to your destination machine. I used to backup a 200 gig database through a named pipe that compressed it and then rcp'd it to another named pipe on another box. It worked well, but you need to equiv and rsh appropriately. Oops does W2K have named pipes. I guess you can use FTP with named pipes although I haven't done it so I get vouch for it.
