Those are some of my initial thoughts too. How big are these things? However, on reflection, IIRC, shouldn't "insufficient holding space" merely force direct to tape backups, not failed backups? So my question is, you say the first DLE is making it to the holding disk, does that one ever make it to tape? Maybe a failure to do taping is your real problem. -- Jon H.
