Multi-volume Ontape backup
Posted in 1999
Hi there, Informix gurus!
Here is my problem: I have just reached the capacity of my tape drive while
backing up my IDS instance. Up to this point, the instance would fit on a
single tape.
I have picked up the "auto_ontape" script found on iiug.org site. I thought
this would resolve my problem but unfortunately, I can't seem to get it going.
My platform is : IBM RS6000 model J40
AIX 4.3.2
IDS 7.22.UC1
IBM 7331 Tape Library
I use IBM's "tapecntl" (an "mt" equivalent)command to manipulate tapes within
the library.
I am hoping not to have to use something else than ontape for the time being.
Perhaps some of you gurus will already have faced and overcome this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help.
