It doesn't. >should'nt there be a "sorry can't do that" error? There is. If the estimate is larger than the tapetype length field you'll get one of these messages (depending on other settings): dump larger than tape, but cannot incremental dump skip-incr disk dump larger than tape, but cannot incremental dump new disk Dump larger than tape: full dump of XXX delayed. dump larger than tape, skipping incremental >/gat John R.
