The only way to do this, what I can imagine, is to use "tbtape -a" for log backup.... It is a stupid question, but do you use this or "tbtape -c" ? PS: speaking about OnLine v5 PS2 nor "tbtape -a" would not do this ??? -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Michal Hajek mailto:hajek@nspuh.cz Sprava NIS http://www.nspuh.cz NsP Uherske Hradiste phone : voice +420 0632 529 204 Purkynova 365 fax +420 0632 551 014 686 68 Uherske Hradiste Czech Republic --------------------------------------------------------------
