RE: ontape or on-archive question

Assuming you have the disk space. 1. Backup your logical logs to disk. 2. At night do an ontape level 0 3. When ontape is done fast forward past the level 0 (do this on the non-rewind device) 4. put your logical logs from disk to tape. 5. If you want you can even tar some more stuff after that.(if you have room) Will >===== Original Message From Paul Jazwierski <uszko@earthlink.net> ===== >When doing an archive with either of these utilities and doing automatic >log backups, can the level-0 archive and log backups go to the same >tape?
