Ontape error: Not Enough space

I sent a e-mail regarding to the error mentioned in the subject of this e-mail today. However, when I look at if there is posting recently send, I was unable to find my original posting. Ok. Lets write it down again. I had a terrible day. After challenging 6 hours with ontape, I had nothing. I had to abort ontape at last. Ontape is the winner. How is it possible try to backup a database, if ontape insisted on giving errors. Let me explain my problem with ontape. I tried to backup a database which has over 100 GB. Everthing is okay with the first DLT I inserted. However, when it says "ok insert next tape sequence and press enter". Then insert next DLT tape. Pressing enter. Vow. Strange error message's. i. Sometimes it gives I/O Error. From my experience I understand that it usually gives this error to DLT IV tapes. ii. Sometimes it is okay with the tape and it finishes backup successfully. iii. The error I seen today and try to solve is "Not Enough Space". I read postings sent previously. Checked everyting including tempdbs ( % 100 free), avaiable temp space (/tmp : also free). Any recommandation is helpful. What kind of error message is this. When I insert a DLT 4 it says that there is an I/O error. When I insert DLT 3, it says there is an Not Enough Space error. I need your urgent assistance. Best regards, Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
