Question about tbtape (Online 5.10)
Posted in 1998
Hi Informixers, since nobody in the whole wide world seems to be using Legato Networker to backup an Online 5.x system, I'll have to revert back to using good old "tbtape" with a standalone tape drive. We don't have the personnel resources to manually change the tape every day, so I'd like to use the "nonrewind" device and use one tape for a week's worth of backups: Level 1 for six consecutive days and then a level 0 on the seventh day, changing the tape after that and storing it offsite. What I am concerned about is what tbtape does after the message "Please mount tape and press Return to continue". Does the tape always rewind to the beginning, or does it start after the last recorded backup? Remember, I want to use the "nonrewind" device. Any advice appreciated, Richard -- +--------------------------+------------------------------------------+ | Dr. Richard Spitz | INTERNET: spitz@ana.med.uni-muenchen.de | | EDV-Gruppe Anaesthesie | Tel : +49-89-7095-3413 | | Klinikum Grosshadern | FAX : +49-89-7095-8886 | | 81366 Munich, Germany | GSM : +49-172-8933578 | +--------------------------+------------------------------------------+
