Hi all, I have a big trouble in my hands ... If somebody knows something to help me, please ... I am working with AIX 4.3.2 - IDS 7.30.UC7. When I'm making backup with ontape, in a remote drive (NFS), the first tape go OK. But when IDS ask second tape, it lose the tape address. So, I can't finish the backup... :-( I have tried many things, but nothing works... Like: modify block size in AIX and Informix, decrease tape size on onmonitor, pray a lot... Thanks... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abra gr'tis uma conta de email no StarMedia Mail.

Like: modify block size in AIX and Informix, decrease tape size on onmonitor, pray a lot... What do you mean it loses the tape address? How are you referencing the remote tape drive in the ONCONFIG file? Art S. Kagel
