Informix is kind of dummy, because it is not checking the chunks before the archive, so if yours last chunk is not full, Informix knows it after the chunk is backed up ??!! and the "gauge" jumps from 79 to 100 % BTW: You didnt tell the version of the Informix, my version is Online 5.02 and its acting same way that yours is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Juha Eklund Avancer Ltd mail: eklund@atkk.ptl.fi ( Internet ) C=FI AD=MAILNET PR=MEMOGW O=ATKK S=EKLUND G=JUHA (X.400) address: Kumpulantie 11, PL 156, 00521 Helsinki, Finland Disclaimer: I speak only for myself, no warranty given !!!! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< : I would appreciate responses from anyone in netland having : experience with tbtape. : Thanx, : Raj. : -- : =============================================================================== : __ __ . : / __/ / Raj Malhotra. : / ( /_ / voice : : __/ email : manmetha@gauss.rutgers.edu : ===============================================================================
