My ontape -c process bailed with the following error message logbackup failed - open log backup I immediately backed up the logical logs that had queued up, did a level-0 archive, and then continued the ontape -c process. It has worked just fine since. Can ayone tell me why this might have happened?? Also: I recently started to run out of tape space on a 90m DAT tape during lev 0 archive. (ontape asked for a second tape after 80% done) I tried using a 120m tape, and it ran out of space and asked for a second tape in EXACTLY the same spot. Does ontape use only the first 90m of tapes regardless of how big the tape is? I am ODS 7.22UC1, HP-UX 10.01 OS Any help appreciated. TIA Allen W. Jantzen, DBA Ned Davis Research
