Hi Unix Gurus!
On Alpha server 8400, running Digital 4.0f UNIX, I am trying to perform a
backup using tar. I am using a DLT IV tape 35/70GB and TZ89 drive.
I am trying to write 3 files, 10 GB, 5GB, and 1GB in size. When I execute
the command 'tar cvf /dev/rmt4h -C /pru/work/ "filename" .......'
I get this message 'File is too large for archive format, truncating to
8589934591 bytes"
Why?.
Using vdump I have no problems backing up the files.
Thanks in advance,
Zibby
