Re: New shared memory segments, while performing a backup with ontape. Why?

I'm on 7.2x but I think this applies to 7.1x also. The ISAM error: no free disk space is probably due to DBSPACETEMP being filled up. Ontape creates temp tables for each dbspace that it is backing up. If you have heavy system activity during the backup you will most likely blow out your temp dbspaces, if they are too small. See the ontape chapter in the "Archive & Backup Guide" for a more detailed explaination.
