Making IGNITE image

MoWright — Sun, 25 Jul 2004 09:49:05 GMT

I've been making backup images on a 10.20 system using the old version of Ignite (make_recovery -A -v), but this past week while trying to backup an image I notice strange behavior. Specifically, I run the command, it builds the LIF and tar's it to tape. Then I get the note about it taking about 30 minutes to tar the system. In less than 3 minutes it states the backup was successful. When I restore from that tape the mini-system is loaded, but it prompts me for Volume 2 of the backup set. I'm not sure why this is happening, I've only needed one tape before. Any ideas? Thank you, Mo

I had a similar problems on V11.00 and it was due to the fact that some large files-logs- were present that pushed the amount backed beyond the tape capacity. But it should tell you at some point that you need to insert a new tape.
See if you can do some housekeeping of old files, trim log files etc.
There is a ignite log file....have you checked to see if there is anything useful in there ?

Thanks for the reply. I did null the audfile(s), but I'll look for other large log files. Thanks, Mo.
