The fbackup that we run, runs on a single DLT drive. Is there a way that a tape can be mounted so that when the fbackup starts that it will think the tape is full and will call for a second tape?

Hi Daryl

Do you wish to force a tape change at a particular point? Or span a backup over two tapes.

An option is to run two backup routines in a script.

i.e

# Back it

first backup here X ammount of dirs/data.
echo " Change the Backup tape"
echo " Press a key when ready"
Waint for key press
Second backup rest of dirs/data
Echo " Backup completed"

Just an idea

Yes, I would like to force a Tape change at the satart of the fbackup to see if our chgvol scrip in our config file will work when this backup eventually goes to a second tape.

Is there any way to manipulate the tape to do this?
