Hi all
I make a file server's backup with a vdump on a nfs mounted directory.
I use a Compaq-Digital DLT-9000 library, 35-70 GB DLT tapes.
The command i use:

vdump -f /dev/tape/tape0 -U -u -C -D /work1/lavori

One month ago, the total file's size exceed the tape's capability; anyway
the backup goes on, but i have in the log a "REWINDING TAPE" message, before
the finally "Dump completed at Fri Fe.." message:

"vdump: Status at Fri Feb 7 08:21:38 2003
vdump: Dumped 47582842140 of 47673728160 bytes; 99.8% completed
vdump: Dumped 9325 of 9366 directories; 99.6% completed
vdump: Dumped 288755 of 289660 files; 99.7% completed
vdump: Rewinding tape

vdump: Status at Fri Feb 7 08:24:39 2003
vdump: Dumped 47673728160 of 47673728160 bytes; 100.0% completed
vdump: Dumped 9366 of 9366 directories; 100.0% completed
vdump: Dumped 289660 of 289660 files; 100.0% completed
vdump: Dump completed at Fri Feb 7 08:24:39 2003"


If i "vrestore -f /dev/tape/tape0 -i, with "ls" i can see all my directories
and, it seems, all the files: what i lost?

How can i automatically change the tape when it's full?

Thanks
Emilio
