Re: Cron job dump requires tape change

2003-07-23 Thread Mike Maltese 
I thought I had answered this before, but AFAIK, dump just doesn't support
multiple volumes. You'll either need to get a higher capacity tape drive,
resize your partitions, or use another backup utility.

Cron job dump requires tape change

2003-07-22 Thread Bob Collins 
I hope I am not asking a NewB question, but I read through dump and cron 
and see no obvious way to run a nightly dump through cron AND allow user 
intervention to change the tape.

I am running a DDS2 tape drive and trying to backup around 12GB. The tape 
runs to the end, issues the end of tape, and then dump fails.

TIA
Bob

I hope I am not asking a NewB question, but I read through dump and cron 
and see no obvious way to run a nightly dump through cron AND allow user 
intervention to change the tape.

I am running a DDS2 tape drive and trying to backup around 12GB. The tape 
runs to the end, issues the end of tape, and then dump fails.

TIA
