I guess you mean can you submit a continuous log backup request to onarchive and use the same tape device as your archives. I guess you can, although you'll face the same contention problems as with ontape. > Is it possible to create two different vsets on one tape ? > > If somebody know answers, please help me.

With onarchive, there's even less reason than before not to direct your archives to disk, provided you can afford the space. Personally, I direct archives and log back-ups to disk, and use standard UNIX housekeeping to move them off on to tape. I did this with tbtape as well, but onarchive reduces the chance of overwriting a archive that was actually needed. > Thank's for all answers! > > Regards > Jarek Brenda > Poland
