Hi,

I want to backup a file over to 15GB a tape DDS-4, but an error unexpected appears : "file too large to archive", how can i backup on the tape??
compressing the file a file.tar or file.Z,,???; any ideas??
I don't know the first thing about tapes, but you should make sure that the file system on the tape (I assume that a tape has a file system....) supports Large Files, i.e. files larger than 2**31 (2GB). Also you need to uses Large_File aware binaries when treating such files. compress and tar are Large_File aware, however zip is not..... If the backup process writes sequentially to the tape, you could tjeck if the process stops when the file reaches 2GB.

To back up you could use tar and pipe the output to compress.

Hope this helps,
Steffen

I hope you can help me.

Greetings.
Marcos.
