----------------------------

a long-Term idea:

sub-file backup is currently not an option since it would not support files
of that size.
Your file changes daily.
I_f the portion changed is not big, 
a_n_d your server would be able of computing a diff 
(both CPU and avalable free disk space would suffice)
you could place an official requirement to IBM to enlarge the sub-file
limitations.

There was a mail exchange about similar problem earlier on this forum,
and one TSM programmer responded that opening the limits would not be 
a very big deal <usual dislaimers apply>

----------------------------

Otherwise, see Zlatko�s mail, tape single media size is of little concern,
speed is.
