Your database is 32(BIG)GIGs Your tape is only 19.5(little)gigs Trying to put all thos BIG GIGS into little gig holes will probably stretch your tape all out of shape. Plus, there's more BIG GIGs in your database than there are little gig spaces on the tape. Now, if you had it the reverse, using little gigs on your database and BIG GIGs on your tape, you might be able to cram two or three little gigs into each BIG GIG space on the tape. But I don't have an answer for your particular situation. == Maintainer of the procrastinator's FAQ.
