I have been trying to export our database to a DLT tape drive, the data base is 32 GIGs but after about an hour its asking me for next tape. The tape has a capacity of 19.5 gigs....can anybody tell me where I am going wrong. This is on Informix 5.10UC5 The command I am typing is as follows: dbexport -t /dev/rmt/2m -b 64 -s 1950000 son_db TIA David ===== David Kulkarni New York, NY 10021 email: dkulkarni@cgsh.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
