The TAPESIZE ONCONFIG file parameter controls the assumed size of the tape. Don't remember what version of IDS you are using, if you have IDS 11.10 you can set it to detect EOT or device full. If you have a version of 9.40 or later you can specify file/tape sizes up to 4TB. If you have an earlier version tapes will still accept larger sizes, but archives to disk files cannot be larger than 2GB. Art S.

I did what you told me and here's what happened: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ D:\\\\Informix>ontape -s -U stores_demo Please enter the level of archive to be performed (0, 1, or 2) 0 Please mount tape 1 on D:\\\\Informix\\\\backup.bak and press Return to continue ... 10 percent done. Tape is full ... Please label this tape as number 1 in the arc tape sequence. This tape contains the following logical logs: 6 Please mount tape 2 on D:\\\\Informix\\\\backup.bak and press Return to continue ... warning: previous tape is still mounted! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now now the question is: is there any way to make my tapes bigger so that everything fits in one tape? My file backup.bak became full with only 10 MB, but I have gigabytes of free space. Or, if I can't make the tapes bigger, how do I label the tape as number 1, unmount it, and mount tape 2? ******************************************************************************* Forum Note: Use "Reply" to post a response in the discussion forum.
