People,
I would like to thank everyone who responded to my query about getting
about 72 gigabytes of filesystems into a single 10/20 Gigabyte tape
drive. I will make the following comments to address everyone's
questions and concerns.
I want to especially thank those who actually responded to my question
about others seeing this level of data being put into a single tape.
The answer was that many of you have seen this so it should not be a
major concern.
First of all, it was a tz88 with a Compact III tape and I suspected it
was the efficiency of the compression on the Oracle files. I mistyped
the type of drive. I am sorry.
The general concessus of the many good people who responded is that
the Oracle files are prime candidates for efficient compression. I
agree and applaud the fact for once, a piece of equipment outperforms
the expectations.
With sincere thanks, Keith
Now, if I could only get my Linux box to let root rsh into it, I would
be a happy camper.
