My archive backups are taking 4 tapes but I think I could get by with 3 if my files were more evenly spread over the tapes.
I am using
dumporder "BTBTBTBTBT"
NOTES:
taper: tape A00021 kb 337870752 fm 39 writing file: short write

taper: tape A00023 kb 274556928 fm 5 writing file: short write
driver: Taper error: "[writing file: short write]"
driver: going into degraded mode because of taper component error.
The last taper failed because I had specified on 3 tapes in the backup.
tape 1 95% full
tape 2 75% full
tape 3 75% full
The problem is all my small files are getting put on the first tape (39)
which leaves the bigger files for the next two tapes. I would like to spread
the small files over the other tapes.
Do you have any suggestions on how to have the smaller files more evenly
spread over all tapes?
Thanks
Robert
