Some OSs like AIX can span tapes using their version of tar by manually asking to mount another volume... I am not sure if you need to do this on a regular basis or just as a one time deal.
If one time deal and you have the avail disk space use split to break it into as many pieces as you need and cat or join to bring it back together when you need to restore. Or you can get a tape drive like the M2 drives from exabyte that handle 60GB native 150GB compressed (varies depending on type of data). Is this database data or text files? or what? --- Chad Morland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am trying to backup a 100G file onto tape. I am > wondering if I can use > amanda for this.
