Hi! When i'm using Onarchive with a tape I'm getting this error message: ARC-E-01344, Error while rewinding the save-set ??? With Ontape, no error, but I want to be able to backup on tape AND disk, without make change in onconfig parameters: only Onarchive can make that. Using Ontape on tape and Onarchive on disk to avoid modify parameters file isn't very useful. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

My advice would be to avoid onarchive at all costs. With regard to your requirement to archive to disk and tape without changing $ONCCONFIG, how about setting TAPEDEV to a symbolic link (say /opt/informix/dbspaces1/tapedev), then using ln -s within your backup script as required? e.g: ln -s /dev/rmt/0m tapedev or ln -s /dev/rdumpdisk1 tapedev Neil Truby Londis Stores Hampton Hill, UK petit_dragon@my-deja.com wrote in message <7prnnf$59l$1@nnrp1.deja.com>... >Hi! > >When i'm using Onarchive with a tape I'm getting this error message: >ARC-E-01344, Error while rewinding the save-set >??? > >With Ontape, no error, but I want to be able to backup on tape AND >disk, without make change in onconfig parameters: only Onarchive can >make that. > >Using Ontape on tape and Onarchive on disk to avoid modify parameters >file isn't very useful. > > > >Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ >Share what you know.
